Example Question #51 : Solving And Graphing Exponential Equations
Solve:
Convert all the terms to base ten.
Use distribution to simplify the powers in parentheses.
On the left side, since we are multiplying powers of the same base, we can add the exponents.
Set the powers equal to each other now that the bases are similar.
Subtract on both sides.
Divide by negative 19 on both sides.
The answer is:
Example Question #691 : Exponents
Solve:
Convert the base of the right side to base four.
With common bases, the powers can be set equal to each other.
Simplify the right side.
Subtract on both sides.
Divide by negative six on both sides.
Reduce both fractions.
The answer is:
Example Question #691 : Exponents
Solve:
In order to solve this equation, we will need to change the bases of both terms.
Notice that both bases can be four raised to some power.
Replace the terms.
Set the powers equal to each other.
Divide by two on both sides.
Subtract on both sides.
Divide by seven on both sides.
The answer is:
Example Question #3826 : Algebra Ii
Solve for .
When solving exponential equations, we need to ensure that we have the same base. When that happens, our equations our based on the exponents.
With same base, we can write:
Subtract on both sides.
Divide on both sides.
Example Question #3827 : Algebra Ii
Solve for .
When solving exponential equations, we need to ensure that we have the same base. When that happens, our equations our based on the exponents.
With the same base, we can write:
Add on both sides.
Divide on both sides.
Example Question #1161 : Mathematical Relationships And Basic Graphs
Solve:
Rewrite the second term in terms of base two.
Rewrite the equation.
Set the powers equal to each other.
Do NOT divide by x on both sides or we will get no solution!
Instead, subtract from both sides.
The equation becomes:
Divide by 255 on both sides.
The answer is:
Example Question #1162 : Mathematical Relationships And Basic Graphs
Solve for .
When solving exponential equations, we need to ensure that we have the same base. When that happens, our equations our based on the exponents.
With the same base, we can write:
Take the square root on both sides and account for negative as well.
Example Question #3830 : Algebra Ii
Solve for .
When solving exponential equations, we need to ensure that we have the same base. When that happens, our equations our based on the exponents. We don't have the same base in this case, but we do know that . Therefore:
Apply power rule of exponents.
With the same base, we can now write:
Take square root on both sides. Remember to account for negative.
