An exponential equation is an equation that contains an exponential expression of the form b^x, where b is a constant (called the base) and x is a variable.
How do you solve exponential equations?
To solve an exponential equation start by isolating the exponential expression on one side of the equation. Then, take the logarithm of both sides of the equation to convert the exponential equation into a logarithmic equation. The logarithm must have the same base as the exponential expression in the equation. Use logarithmic properties to simplify the logarithmic equation, and solve for the variable by isolating it on one side of the equation.
What is an exponent?
An exponent is a mathematical notation indicating the number of times a value is multiplied by itself.
what is e in math?
In mathematics, 'e' refers to the mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828. It is widely used in various mathematical and scientific fields, such as exponential and logarithmic functions.
Is log the inverse of exponential?
Logarithm and exponential are inverse functions. If y = b^x, where b is the base of the exponential, then x = logb(y).
