2. Learning Goal Learning Target
SWBAT simplify, graph, and solve exponential expressions, equations, functions and sequences.
Learning Target
SWBAT solve exponential equations with the same base, unlike bases, and by graphing

3. Section 6.5 “Solving Exponential Equation”
equation in which variable
expressions occur as exponents.
If 2x = 25 then
x is equal to 5.
Two powers with the same positive base b are equal if their exponents are equal.

4. Solving Exponential Equations with the Same Base
Since the bases are the same, then in order to solve for x, write an equation for the exponents.
Since the bases are the same, then in order to solve for x, write an equation for the exponents.
3x+1 = 35
81 = 82x-3

5. On Your Own Solving Exponential Equations with the Same Base
102x+1 = 103x
5x+1 = 53x+5
Since the bases are the same, then in order to solve for x, write an equation for the exponents.
Since the bases are the same, then in order to solve for x, write an equation for the exponents.
5x+1 = 53x+5
102x+1 = 103x

6. Solving Exponential Equations with Unlike Bases
4x = 23x-4
Since the bases are unlike, rewrite 64 as a power of 4.
Since the bases are unlike, rewrite 4x as a power of 2.
(22)x = 23x-4
4x = 43
22x = 23x-4
Then, write and solve an equation for the exponents.
Then, write and solve an equation for the exponents.
4x = 43
22x = 23x-4

7. On Your Own Solving Exponential Equations with Unlike Bases
92x = 3x-6
43x = 8x+1
Since the bases are unlike, rewrite 92x as a power of 3.

(32)2x = 3x-6
(43)x = 8x+1
64x = 8x+1
34x = 3x-6
82x = 8x+1
Then, write and solve an equation for the exponents.
Then, write and solve an equation for the exponents.
34x = 3x-6
82x = 8x+1

8. Solving Exponential Equations with Unlike Bases when 0 < b < 1
Since the bases are unlike, rewrite both expressions as common bases.
2-1x = 24
Then, write and solve an equation for the exponents.
2-1x = 24
x = -4

9. 4x+1 = 4-3 3-x+1 = 33 4x+1 = 1/64 (1/3)x-1 = 27 4x+1 = 4-3
On Your Own Solving Exponential Equations with Unlike Bases when 0 < b < 1
4x+1 = 1/64
(1/3)x-1 = 27
Since the bases are unlike, rewrite both expressions as common bases.
Since the bases are unlike, rewrite 1/64 as a power of 4.
(3-1)x-1 = 33
4x+1 = 4-3
(3)-1(x-1) = 33
Then, write and solve an equation for the exponents.
3-x+1 = 33
Then, write and solve an equation for the exponents.
4x+1 = 4-3
3-x+1 = 33

10. Solving Exponential Equations by Graphing.
Sometimes, it is impossible to rewrite each side of an exponential equation using the same base.
You can solve these types of equations by GRAPHING EACH SIDE and finding the point of intersection.
Use the INTERSECT feature on your calculator to find the point of intersection.
2nd
CALC
5: intersect
ENTER
The solution is the “x” value of the ordered pair.

11. On Your Own Solving Exponential Equations by Graphing.
2nd
CALC
5: intersect
ENTER
No solution because the graphs do not intersect.
