    This algebra/precalculus tutorial covers the common exponential equation problems you must know for your algebra 2 and precalculus classes. We will focus on getting the common base, using the common logarithm and the natural log to help us solve exponential equations. We will also cover some exponential equations with different bases and factor a quadratic trinomial. Subscribe to ‪@bprpmathbasics‬ for more algebra tutorials.

    Love the video.
    But I saw you miss this a couple of times now.
    The reason the exponential property of same bases works is because if you take the log of both sides they cancel. _Note I saw you covered this later, but it would be helpful to explain in problem 1._
    2^(3X+1) = 2^5
    log₂ 2^(3X+1) = log₂ 2^5 (how do I do strikeout in a comment?)
    Which leaves you with ...
    3X+1 = 5
    Heads up - that extra explanation will make things clearer for some students.
    Great job though. I love your videos!

      The reason that that 'exponential property of same bases' works is that:
      A: the base is bigger than 0 as well as well unequal to 1
      and
      B: if y=a^x and z=dy/dx then z is unequal to 0 and has a constant sign (i.e. d( z/|z| )/dx = 0 no matter the value of x) which implies that for an increase in x, y is always bigger (for a>1) or smaller (for a

  • @GirishManjunathMusic
    @GirishManjunathMusic 4 месяца назад +2

    Before watching the video:
    Question 1:
    2↑(3x + 1) = 32
    We know that 32 = 2⁵
    2↑(3x + 1) = 2⁵
    Comparing like terms:
    3x + 1 = 5
    3x = 4
    x = 0.75.
    Question 2:
    27↑x = 9↑(2x - 3)
    27 = 3³ and 9 = 3²:
    3↑3x = 3↑(4x - 6)
    Comparing like:
    3x = 4x - 6
    x = 6.
    Question 3:
    5↑(x² + 3x - 4) = 1
    But 5⁰ = 1:
    5↑(x² + 3x - 4) = 5⁰
    Comparing like:
    x² + 3x - 4 = 0
    x² + 4x - x - 4 = 0
    (x + 4)(x - 1) = 0
    x = -4, x = 1.
    Question 4:
    (√2)↑(x + 4) = ⅛
    But ⅛ = 8↑(-1), 8 = 2² and √2 = 2↑½:
    2↑(½x + 2) = 2↑(-3)
    Comparing like:
    ½x + 2 = - 3
    ½x = -5
    x = -10.
    Question 5:
    5↑x = 2
    xln5 = ln2
    x = ln2/ln5.
    Question 6:
    20e↑(3x - 2) = 1200
    e↑(3x - 2) = 60
    3x - 2 = ln(60)
    x = ⅓(ln(60) + 2).
    Question 7:
    3↑(x - 2) = 5↑(x + 4)
    (x - 2)ln3 = (x + 4)ln5
    xln3 - 2ln3 = xln5 + 4ln5
    x(ln3 - ln5) = 2ln3 + 4ln5
    x = (2ln(3) + 4ln(5))/(ln(3) - ln(5)).
    Question 8:
    7↑(2x - 1) = 2↑(4x + 3)
    (2x - 1)ln7 = (4x + 3)ln2
    2xln7 - ln7 = 4xln2 + 3ln2
    x(2ln7 - 4ln2) = (3ln2 + ln7)
    x = (3ln2 + ln7)/(2ln7 - 4ln2).
    Question 9:
    e↑2x + e↑x - 6 = 0:
    Setting e↑x = t → e↑2x = t²:
    t² + t - 6 = 0
    t² + 3t - 2t - 6 = 0
    (t + 3)(t - 2) = 0
    t = -3 or t = 2
    But as t = e↑x; t > 0:
    t = 2 → e↑x = 2
    x = ln2.
    Question 10:
    2↑x + 3·2↑(-x) = 4
    Setting 2↑x = t → 2↑(-x) = 1/t:
    t + 3/t = 4
    t - 4t + 3 = 0
    t - 3t - t + 3 = 0
    (t - 1)(t - 3) = 0
    t = 1 or t = 3.
    But t = 2↑x:
    Case 1: t = 1:
    2↑x = 1
    x = 0.
    Case 2: t = 3:
    2↑x = 3
    xln2 = ln3
    x = ln(3)/ln(2).

      I think you made a pair of typo's in Question 10; after multiplying the whole equation with t, t does not turn into t² whereas it should and is also processed as.

      Sometimes these facts are so simple, we miss them.

      You raise x by both sides to get x^log(x) = x^x
      The log and the x cancels out so you get x = x^x
      x has to be one because 1 = 1^1
      Edit: I made a mistake, there is no real solution
      Edit2: here is the real solution
      Raise 10 by both sides and get 10^log(x) = 10^x
      The 10 and the log cancel out to get x = 10^x so there is no real solution

      Not in the real plane. This can be shown by knowing ln(x)=x is the same as x=e^x.
      x2>1 means e^x>2^x, so e^x>x, so x>ln(x).

      Ah you've done it the other way around

      And they need to add to give b (+3)
      You've got 2 numbers that multiply for b and add for c haha
