Objectives  Solve an exponential equation by writing it in logarithmic form  Convert logarithms using the change of base formula  Solve an exponential equation by using properties of logarithms  Solve logarithmic equations  Solve exponential and logarithmic inequalities

Solving Exponential Equations Using Logarithmic Forms To solve an exponential equation using logarithmic form: 1. Rewrite the equation with the term containing the exponent by itself on one side. 2. Divide both sides by the coefficient of the term containing the exponent. 3. Change the new equation to logarithmic form. 4. Solve for the variable.

Example Solve the equation for t by converting it to logarithmic form and graphically to confirm the solution. Solution Divide both sides of the equation by 150. Rewrite in logarithmic form. Solve for t.

Example (cont) Solve the equation for t by converting it to logarithmic form and graphically to confirm the solution. Solution To solve graphically enter 3000 for y 1 and for y 2

Example

Example (cont) b. Suppose $2500 is invested in an account earning 6% annual interest, compounded continuously. How long will it take for the amount to grow to $5000? Solution b.

Change of Base We can use a special formula called the change of base formula to rewrite logarithms so that the base is 10 or e. The general change of base formula is summarized below.

Example Evaluate Solution

Example (cont)

Example If $10,000 is invested for t years at 10%, compounded annually, the future value is given by In how many years will the investment grow to $45,950? Solution The investment will grow to $45,950 in 16 years.

S OLVING E XPONENTIAL E QUATIONS U SING L OGARITHMIC P ROPERTIES To solve an exponential equation using logarithmic properties: 1. Rewrite the equation with a base raised to a power on one side. 2. Take the logarithm, base e or 10, of both sides of the equation. 3. Use a logarithmic property to remove the variable from the exponent. 4. Solve for the variable.

Example Solve the following exponential equations. a.b. Solution a. Take log of base 10 of both sides. Using the Power Property of Logarithms Solving for x

Example (cont) Solution

Example Solve by converting to exponential form and verify the solution graphically. Solution Divide both sides by 4: Write in exponential form:
