10.6: Solve Exponential and Logarithmic Equations
Find the exact answer and then approximate it to three decimal places. Answer. 3 e x + 2 = 24. Isolate the exponential by dividing both sides by 3. e x + 2 = 8. Take the natural logarithm of both sides. ln e x + 2 = ln 8. Use the Power Property to get the x as a factor, not an exponent. ( x + 2) ln e = ln 8.
Solving exponential equations using logarithms
To solve for x , we must first isolate the exponential part. To do this, divide both sides by 5 as shown below. We do not multiply the 5 and the 2 as this goes against the order of operations! 5 ⋅ 2 x = 240 2 x = 48. Now, we can solve for x by converting the equation to logarithmic form. 2 x = 48 is equivalent to log 2.
How to Solve an Exponential Equation by Taking the Log of Both Sides
Take the log of both sides. As with the previous problem, you should use either a common log or a natural log. If you use a natural log, you get ln 5 2 - x = ln 3 3x + 2. Use the power rule to drop down both exponents. Don't forget to include your parentheses! You get (2 - x )ln 5 = (3 x + 2)ln 3. Distribute the logs over the inside of ...

Lesson Explainer: Natural Logarithmic Equations
Therefore, since taking the natural logarithm is the inverse operation of raising 𝑒 to a power, here our first step is to take natural logarithms (often called "taking logs") of both sides of the equation. Then, we simplify the result. Taking logs and then dividing both sides by 2 gives l n l n l n l n 𝑒 = 9 2 𝑥 = 9 𝑥 = 1 2 9.

6.6 Exponential and Logarithmic Equations
Then we apply the rules of exponents, along with the one-to-one property, to solve for x: 256 = 4x − 5 28 = (22)x − 5 Rewrite each side as a power with base 2. 28 = 22x − 10 Use the one-to-one property of exponents. 8 = 2x − 10 Apply the one-to-one property of exponents. 18 = 2x Add 10 to both sides. x = 9 Divide by 2.
Using laws of natural logs
The way we solve equations in this form, where the variable is tucked inside the exponent of the exponential, is to take the natural logarithm of both sides. ???\ln{e^x}=\ln{1,024}??? Now note that ???\ln{(e^x)}=x???, because any exponential function ???a^x??? and the associated log function (???\log_a{x}???) are inverses of each other.
Solving Logarithmic Equations
Distribute: [latex]\left ( {x + 2} \right)\left ( 3 \right) = 3x + 6 [/latex] Drop the logs, set the arguments (stuff inside the parenthesis) equal to each other. Then solve the linear equation. I know you got this part down! Just a big caution. ALWAYS check your solved values with the original logarithmic equation.
Solving Exponential Equations Using Logarithms
Steps to Solve Exponential Equations using Logarithms. 1) Keep the exponential expression by itself on one side of the equation. 2) Get the logarithms of both sides of the equation. You can use any bases for logs. 3) Solve for the variable. Keep the answer exact or give decimal approximations.

How To: Given an exponential equation in which a common base cannot be found, solve for the unknown. Apply the logarithm of both sides of the equation. If one of the terms in the equation has base 10, use the common logarithm. If none of the terms in the equation has base 10, use the natural logarithm. Use the rules of logarithms to solve for ...
The 11 Natural Log Rules You Need to Know
The key difference between natural logs and other logarithms is the base being used. Logarithms typically use a base of 10 (although it can be a different value, which will be specified), while natural logs will always use a base of e. This means ln(x)=log e (x) If you need to convert between logarithms and natural logs, use the following two ...

Rules for natural logging both sides of an equation?
But what's tripping me up is the "2". I'm not sure how natural logging both sides would work with the 2 being there. $(60-X)ln(1.006)+(60-2X)(ln(2))(ln(1.006))=ln(3.823)$ This is what I think of naturally probably because I don't know all of the natural log rules. And I was wondering what the actual rule is and how the "2" works in this mess.
Natural Log
The question is, which base should we choose for the log? We should use the natural log (log base e) because the right-hand side of the equation already has e as a base of an exponent. As you will see, things cancel out more nicely this way. Take the natural log of both sides: Rewrite the right-hand side of the equation using the product rule ...
2.5 Exponential and Logarithmic Equations
Many times we need to solve equations of the form n =abx n = a b x where n n is a real number. To do this we will divide both sides by a a to get n a = bx n a = b x and then take the logarithm of both sides giving the equation log(n a)= log(bx). l o g ( n a) = l o g ( b x). Next, we use the power rule for logarithms to get log(n a) =xlog(b) l o ...

4 Natural Log Rules You Must Know
Here's a simple example: to solve for e x = 7, you can solve for x by taking the natural log of both sides of the equation: e x = 7. ln(e x) = ln(7) ... you should subtract the two powers to solve the problem. With natural log equations, then, the rule becomes: ln(x/y) = ln(x) - ln(y)
How to solve if I have ln on both sides of equation?
$\begingroup$ I read the link already, and am familiar with working with logs on one side of the equation, just not both. Under example 3, steps 3,4,5 they show this situation but don't clearly explain the steps, just suddenly the log is gone by "simplifying" $\endgroup$ - user3550682
