The first of 4 skills relating to logarithms actually doesnot require any logs at all. If the bases are equal then the powers must be equal. If 2x = 2y and since 2 = 2 then x = y. equal bases Solving Exponential Equations equal powers k + 1 = 2k -k -k Since bases are equal, equate powers. Example: When bases are equal. 1 = k Solving Exponential Equations Example:When bases are different. Now that bases are equal,equate powers. 5•(2p+2) = 210p + 10 = 210p = -8 Re-express with the same base. 25•(2p+2) = 22 p = -8/10 p = -4/5 base of 2 Solve for r. Bases are equal, equate the powers. Answer: Round to hundredths (ie. 2.34 or 0.63 or -2.00) Solving Exponential Equations Solve for x. Bases are equal, equate the powers. Answer: Round to hundredths (ie. 2.34 or 0.63 or -2.00) Solving Exponential Equations Solve for v. Bases are equal, equate the powers. Answer: Round to hundredths (ie. 2.34 or 0.63 or -2.00) Solving Exponential Equations Solve for a. Bases are equal, equate the powers. Answer: Round to hundredths (ie. 2.34 or 0.63 or -2.00) Solving Exponential Equations Solve for n. Bases are equal, equate the powers. Answer: Round to hundredths (ie. 2.34 or 0.63 or -2.00) Solving Exponential Equations Solve for n. Bases are not equal, re-express with the same base then equate the powers. What base should be used ? Answer: Round to hundredths (ie. 2.34 or 0.63 or -2.00) Solving Exponential Equations Solve for x. Bases are not equal, re-express withthe same base then equate the powers.
