Simple Tip To Understand What You Need To Know To Solve Exponential Equations

The video tutorial explains the one-to-one property in solving exponential equations. It covers how to solve equations with the same base by setting exponents equal, and addresses cases with different bases by rewriting them to have a common base. The tutorial also discusses handling fractions in exponents and provides advanced examples. It concludes with a discussion on the limitations of the one-to-one property when bases or exponents are altered.

What is the first step in solving exponential equations using the one-to-one property?

• Add the exponents together

• Ensure the bases on both sides are the same

• Multiply the bases

• Find the inverse of the exponent

How can you solve an equation where the bases are not initially the same?

• Subtract the exponents

• Divide both sides by the base

• Add a constant to both sides

• Change the base to a common base

What is a common strategy for dealing with fractions in exponents?

• Multiply the fractions by the base

• Ignore the fractions

• Use negative exponents to rewrite them

• Convert them to decimals

When rewriting a fraction like 1/3 as an exponent, what is the equivalent expression?

• 3^1

• 3^-1

• 3^0

• 3^2

What is the key to solving equations with higher powers using the one-to-one property?

• Ensuring the exponents are equal

• Adding a constant to the exponent

• Using different bases for each side

• Maintaining the same base on both sides

How can you rewrite 81 using a base of 3?

• 3^3

• 3^2

• 3^5

• 3^4

What happens if you change the base or add values to one side of the equation?

• The one-to-one property no longer applies

• The exponents become equal

• The equation becomes unsolvable

• The one-to-one property still applies
