Unit 12 – Day 1 Name: Date: Integrated Math 4G: NOTES Logs and Exponents – Solving Exponential Equations (Some) Rules of Exponents
1) 𝑎𝑚 ∙ 𝑎𝑛 = 4) 𝑎−𝑛 =
2) (𝑎𝑚)𝑛 = 5) 1
𝑎𝑛 =
3) (𝑎𝑏)𝑛 = 6) 𝑎0 =
Ex 1) 5𝑥4 ∙ 3𝑥8 Ex 2) (6𝑥2)4
Ex 3) (6𝑥)−3 Ex 4) (6𝑥4𝑦)2 ∙ (2𝑥2𝑦6)3
Ex 5) 8𝑥7 ∙ 3𝑥−5
Ex 6) 500
Ex 1a) 2𝑥2 ∙ 5𝑥 Ex 2a) (5𝑥7)2
Ex 3a) (7𝑥3)−2 Ex 4a) (6𝑥𝑦4)2 ∙ (8𝑥2𝑦)3
Ex 5a) 5𝑥9 ∙ 7𝑥−2
Ex 6a) (800𝑥)0
Unit 12 – Day 1 Solving Exponential Equations with Exponents on Both Sides: Ex 7) 2𝑥+1 = 23𝑥−1 Steps: 1) Get the base to be the same (the base is the
big number). 2) Set the exponents equal to each other
(exponents are the small numbers). 3) Solve for 𝑥. Ex 8-9 It’s a little more challenging when the bases are not the same because we must make them the same. Ex 8) 22𝑥 = 8𝑥−1 Ex 9) 9𝑥+6 = 273𝑥−3
Ex 10-11 Hint: Rewrite the fraction on the left using a negative exponent with the same base as the left. Ex 10) 53𝑥 = 1
125 Ex 11) 6𝑥+1 = 1
36
Ex 12-13 Two for you to try on your own. Ex 12) 162𝑥−1 = 64𝑥+2 Ex 13) 35𝑥−3 = 1
