8.5 Exponential and Logarithmic Equations The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us.
We will use logarithms to undo exponents. We will use this property of logarithms:
Exponential Equations Take the common logarithm of both sides
Exponential Equations By graphing… 1. Graph: 2. Find point of intersection (2nd -> Calc -> Intersect) calc
Logarithmic Equations Change of Base Formula: Ex: Evaluate
Logarithmic Equations When x is in the argument of the logarithm and nothing can be moved around…convert equation to an exponential function.
Logarithmic Equations When there are multiple logarithms… Write as a single logarithm, THEN put in exponential form!
8.5 Exponential and Logarithmic Equations HW: 1-13 odd, 25-47 odd The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us.
