Exponential and Logarithmic Equations Lesson 5.6
Solving Exponential Equations Graphically Given Graphical Solution Graph each side of the equation Use calculator to find intersection y = 0.5 y = 0.1 (10x)
Solving Exponential Equations Symbolically Given Isolate the coefficient with the exponent Take log of both sides Use logarithm properties Use division x
Try It Out Given 3(2 x – 2) = 99 Part of class solve graphically Part of class solve symbolically
Logarithmic Equation Consider ln 4x = 1.5 Symbolic solution Raise to the power of the base Use property of logarithms Use Division
Logarithmic Equation Graphical solution of ln 4x = 1.5 As before graph both sides of the equation y = ln 4x y = 1.5 Use calculator to find intersection
