Steps for Solving Logarithmic Equations
Logarithmic equations can be solved in a number
of ways. Here are three approaches to try.
Often, you will need to combine these
approaches 1) Convert from logarithmic to
exponential form 2) Use the product/quotient/power
theorems to combine logarithms 3) Take the
logarithm of each side or raise each side to the
same exponent. 4) If you are asked to evaluate a
log like log5, you need to use your calculator.
