Solving Exponential & Logarithmic Functions
There are two methods for solving exponential and logarithmic equations. One method is fairly simple, but requires a very special form of the exponential and logarithmic equation. The other will work on more complicated exponential equations, but can be a little messy at times.
Let’s start off by looking at the simpler method.
b x = b y ⇔ x = y
The bases must be the same. If it isn’t then this fact will not help.
loga x = loga y ⇔ x = y
The bases must be the same and the coefficients must be 1.
