Learning Objective
I can solve exponential and logarithmic equations using properties of logarithms.
- 1
Exponential and logarithmic equations are inverse forms of each other, which is helpful to remember when solving problems.
- 2
To solve exponential equations, you can rewrite both sides with the same base or apply a logarithm to both sides.
- 3
When solving logarithmic equations, first condense the expression, then exponentiate both sides to eliminate the logarithm.
