Solving Exponential and Logarithmic Applications

Solving Exponential Equations using Logarithms

In this post we look at exponential equations where we cannot solve them by getting a common base on both sides. We accomplish this by taking the log of both sides and then applying the logarithm laws to both sides to allow us to solve for the unknown.

An example:



Solving Exponential Equations by Getting the Same Base

This post is about solving exponential equations by getting the same base on both sides. Since the bases are the same the exponents must be equal. Some examples from class:
