Solving Exponential Equations (5.11.1)

Question 1

• When solving for variables in the exponents, either the bases will be the same or they will be different.
• When the bases are the same, you can set the exponents equal to each other.
• When the bases are different, you must use logarithms to turn the exponents into coefficients. Then
isolate for your variable by using the logarithm properties.
