Determining the x intercept of a logarithmic equation

The video tutorial explains how to find the X intercept of a linear equation by setting Y to zero. It then transitions to logarithmic equations, emphasizing that F of X represents the output, similar to Y. The instructor, Mark Logan, demonstrates solving logarithmic equations by converting them to exponential form. The process involves isolating terms and solving for X, ultimately finding the X intercept.

What is the first step in finding the X intercept of a linear equation?

• Set X to zero

• Set Y to zero

• Multiply both sides by X

• Divide both sides by Y

In a logarithmic function, what does F of X represent?

• The input value

• The base of the logarithm

• The exponent

• The output value

What is the first step in solving a logarithmic equation?

• Convert it to exponential form

• Subtract the base

• Multiply by the base

• Add a constant to both sides

When converting a logarithmic equation to exponential form, what should you do first?

• Isolate the logarithmic expression

• Add the base to both sides

• Multiply by the exponent

• Divide by the base

In the example provided, what is the value of X when solving the equation?

• 1

• 3

• -1

• 0
