Solving Exponential Equations Using Log

Write log_b(x/y) as two logs

• log_bx-log_by

• log_bx+log_by

• log_bx*log_by

• log_bx/log_by

Solve for x:  log₆x + log₆(x-5) = 2

• √7

• 9

• 4

• none of these

Solve:

log (x - 1) - log (x - 2) = log 5

• 7

• 4/9

• 9/4

• 1/7

ln(x+8) - ln (8) = 3

• 152.68

• 188.77

• 4.24

• 8.01

What will you type in the calculator when you solve the following equation? 2.8^x = 41
