Objectives of the course By the end of the course, you should be able to: Solve using the exponents Solve by changing one exponent Solve using the logarithm Solve equation with exponents or logarithms
1. Exponents have the same base If match Transpose equation on the number Solve the Example: Solve the equation We have: bases exponents corresponding equation
2. Exponents with different bases May need to change one number So they can Example: Solve the equation We have: equation is now exponent match case 1
3. Solving using logarithms When it is to match the bases Take the of both sides of equal sign Then apply the Example: Solve the equation By taking the log, we have: We apply the properties of logarithms: not possible logarithm properties of the logarithms
4. Solving using logarithms Distribute Calculator
