Use inverse operation to solve exponential equation without one to one property

The video tutorial covers solving exponential equations by isolating the exponent and using the one-to-one property. When the one-to-one property is not applicable, logarithms are introduced as a method to solve the equations. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on applying logarithms, including taking the logarithm of the same base as the exponent. The video concludes with a reflection on the learning process.

What is the first step in solving an exponential equation?

• Multiply both sides by a constant

• Isolate the exponent

• Add a constant to both sides

• Divide both sides by a constant

When can the one-to-one property be used in solving exponential equations?

• When the bases are different

• When the bases are the same

• When the exponents are different

• When the exponents are equal

What should you do if the one-to-one property cannot be used?

• Use the distributive property

• Change the base of the exponent

• Use the quadratic formula

• Apply the rules of logarithms

Which base should be used when taking the logarithm to solve an exponential equation?

• The base of the exponent

• Base 2

• Base 5

• Base 9

What is the approximate value of log base 10 of 9?

• 0.954

• 0.995

• 0.995

• 0.954
