Introduction
• Objective: In this presentation, we will explore how to solve
exponential and logarithmic equations. • We will cover methods to simplify, analyze, and apply these equations in both algebraic and real-world contexts. • Engagement: Consider the growth of populations or the decay of radioactive substances. • Both processes can be modeled using exponential equations, while logarithmic equations help us understand phenomena like sound intensity and pH levels. Learning Goals & Success Criteria • Learning Goal: Solve exponential and logarithmic equations algebraically. • Success Criteria: • 1. Simplify and solve exponential equations using common bases or logarithms. • 2. Solve logarithmic equations algebraically. Solving Exponential Equations • Example: Solve 2^x = 16 • Step 1: Rewrite 16 as 2^4 since 16 = 2^4. • Step 2: Set exponents equal: x = 4. • Key Point: Rewrite both sides with the same base if possible. • Pitfalls: Not recognizing the correct base or failing to simplify properly. Solving Logarithmic Equations • Example: Solve log(x) = 3 • Step 1: Rewrite in exponential form: x = 10^3. • Step 2: Solve: x = 1000. • Key Point: Use the property log_b(a) = c implies a = b^c. • Pitfalls: Incorrect use of logarithmic properties. Real-World Applications • Exponential Equations: Population growth, compound interest. • Logarithmic Equations: Earthquake intensity (Richter scale), sound intensity (decibels). • Key takeaway: These equations help us understand real-life phenomena. Conclusion • Summary: We covered how to solve exponential and logarithmic equations. • Importance: These methods are essential in algebra and solving real-world problems. Thank You! • Thank you for watching. I hope this presentation clarified solving exponential and logarithmic equations.
