Solving Exponential and Logarithmic
EquationsPart II: During this lesson, you will solve logarithmic
equations.
Before we start recall Inverse Properties of Exponents and Logarithms:
Solving Logarithmic Equations
NOTE: To solve a logarithmic equation such as
ln x = 3, we write the equation in exponential form as follows:
e ln x = e3
x = e3
This procedure is called exponentiating both sides of the equation.
Example 4: Solving a Logarithmic Equation
Solve 5 + 2 ln x = 4.
Example 5: Solving a Logarithmic Equation
Solve 2 log 10 3x = 4.
