Take log⁡c\log_c of both sides of the claimed identity.

log⁡c(alog⁡cb)=log⁡cb⋅log⁡ca\log_c\left(a^{\log_c b}\right)=\log_c b\cdot\log_c a (power rule).

log⁡c(blog⁡ca)=log⁡ca⋅log⁡cb\log_c\left(b^{\log_c a}\right)=\log_c a\cdot\log_c b (power rule).

Both sides give the same product log⁡ca⋅log⁡cb\log_c a\cdot\log_c b, so log⁡c(alog⁡cb)=log⁡c(blog⁡ca)\log_c(a^{\log_c b})=\log_c(b^{\log_c a}). …
