Solving Exponential Equations
Muhtasari
When the unknown sits in the exponent, ordinary algebra cannot reach it. Logarithms are the tool that brings it down to ground level. Taking the logarithm of both sides of \(a^x=b\) lets you slide the power out in front, turning an exponential equation into a linear one you can solve at once.
In this lesson you will solve equations like \(2^x=10\) by taking logarithms, using either base 10 or the natural logarithm. The key formula is \(x=\dfrac{\log b}{\log a}\), and you will see how it follows directly from the power law.
Malengo
- Solve equations of the form a to the power x equals b.
