10 Exponential Equations An equation of the type: a x = b is called a exponential equation. There are two methods to solve exponential equations. 1. Write the equation in the form a x = a b then make use of the fact that x = b or 2. Write the equation in the form a x = k, if k is not a power of a, then use the trial and improvement method to find an approximate solution for x.

11 Exponential Equations

12 Test your knowledge Question Solve for x: (-3) x = 9 Answer A)2B) - 2 C) 3D) -3

13 Test your knowledge Question Solve for x: x 4 =16 Answer A)±2 B) 2 C) -2 D) No Solution

14 Simplify expressions using Laws One term: Factorise the bases into prime factors and simplify. More than one term in the numerator or denominator: Factorise the bases into prime factors simplify and factorise.

15 Multiplication and division with one term 1. Example One term: Factorise the bases into prime factors and simplify.

16 Multiplication and division with more than one term Example More than one term in the numerator or denominator; Factorise the bases into prime factors Simplify and factorise
