Lesson #10: Solving Exponential Equations
Learning Target
RF6.1.: I can determine the solution of an exponential equation in which the terms on either side of the equal sign have
the same base or can be written so that they have the same base.
RF6.2: I can determine the solution of an exponential equation in which the bases cannot be written with the same base.
the same base or can be written so that they have the same base.
RF6.2: I can determine the solution of an exponential equation in which the bases cannot be written with the same base.
Notes
Video
For Questions 7 and 12, I would probably take the common log of both sides of the equation. I usually take the natural log of both sides of an exponential equation if the base is e.
