Unit 6: Exponential Logarithmic Equations Lesson 3: Solving Logarithmic Equations Logarithmic Equations A logarithmic equation is any equation in which the variable – usually x – is in a logarithm In this lesson, we’ll look at how these types of equations are solved What You’ll Need A good understanding of how to switch between logarithmic and exponential forms: y = ax ? logay = x The log laws: 1. Zero Exponent loga1 = 0 2. Product Law loga(xy) = logax + logay 3. Quotient Law 4. Power Law logaxn = nlogax 5. Negative Exponents logax-n = –nlogax Where a 0, a ≠ 1, x 0, y 0 Example
