Lesson 6 Summary

 

In this lesson you explored a new way of solving an exponential equation that used logarithms. Taking the logarithm of each side of the equation and then using the power law for logarithms is a good way to solve exponential equations that cannot be solved easily using common bases.

 

Sometimes it is useful to change the base of a logarithm. The equation can be used to accomplish this.
