How do we solve exponential equations with different bases? Oh well, make the bases the same first! Sometimes it's easy, sometimes we might have to use a log property that b^logb(x)=x

for the second equation I did, (2^4x) x 2 = 3^x (16^x) x 2 = 3^x (3^x)/(16^x) = 2 (3/16)^x = 2 Taking log base (3/16) on both sides x = log base 3/16 (2) x = -0.414 (which is the same as yours) great problems, looking forward to more!

I like how this was explained so clearly and simply. Crisp, without needless complications.

"Surprising, right?" Hahahaha

@real_u23 Год назад

so that's when "log that's not base e" is important 😮

(3x+1)log2 = xlog4 3xlog2 + log2 = xlog4 3xlog2 - xlog4 = -log2 x(3log2-log4) = -log2 x = -log2/3log2-log4

I am highly impressed sir

That is a good one!!!

It's cool how the answer to the second one still has 1,2,3,4 in it.

@NapasimisOrdibarata 14 дней назад

It also the x is ²log (3/16)

@tutorchristabel Год назад

Well explained

I love this guy. It's just funny because if he would have just took the ln of 2 and 3 in the first place he wouldn't have to re-write the answer

What is 2 log base2 of 3

@TheNerdess 9 месяцев назад

Im supposed to solve using only natural log. that has been my problem finding examples of people solving with that and not log! Stuff like 2^(5x+4)=3^(3x-2) can you just write ln instead of log?

@carultch 7 месяцев назад

Since we have the change-of-base rule, it is arbitrary whether you write ln(8)/ln(2) or log(8)/log(2). Both produce the same result. You can solve any problem involving logs, using either natural log or log base ten. Or even some completely different base like log base 2. To do the problem you provided using natural log: Given: 2^(5*x+4) = 3^(3*x - 2) Take the natural log of both sides: ln(2^(5*x + 4)) = ln(3^(3*x - 2)) Use the log property, ln(a^b) = b*ln(a) to pull the exponents out in front: (5*x + 4)*ln(2) = (3*x - 2)*ln(3) Expand, move constants to the right, and variables to the left: 5*x*ln(2) + 4*ln(2) = 3*x*ln(3) - 2*ln(3) 5*x*ln(2) - 3*x*ln(3) = -2*ln(3) - 4*ln(2) Factor the left: [5*ln(2) - 3*ln(3)]*x = -2*ln(3) - 4*ln(2) Isolate x: x=[-2*ln(3) - 4*ln(2)]/[5*ln(2) - 3*ln(3)] This can simplify to: x = -ln(144)/ln(32/27), which evaluates to about -29.25
