Solving Equations with Exponents Using Common Logarithms

This video tutorial teaches how to solve equations where the variable is in the exponent using common logarithms. It covers the properties of logarithms, including the key property that log base 10 of 10 to the X equals X. The tutorial demonstrates solving equations using graphs and calculators, addresses common misunderstandings, and explores advanced applications of logarithms. The focus is on base 10 logarithms, known as common logarithms, and their use in simplifying and solving exponential equations.

Describe the process of using a common logarithm to solve for X in the equation 10 to the X = 72.

What mistake is commonly made when applying the property log of 10 to the X equals X?

What is the significance of the base when using logarithms, particularly in the context of base 10?
