A logarithmic equation is an equation with a logarithmic expression that contains a variable. There are two kinds of logarithmic equations: • Equations with logarithms on both sides of the equal sign. • Equations with logarithms only on one side. (exponentiate the equation) Check answer to make sure it does not give a log(x< 0).

Economics Application The moment magnitude M of an earthquake that releases energy E (in ergs) can be modeled by this equation: On October 9, 1984, the largest earthquake in Georgia occurred in Dalton with a magnitude of 4.2. How much energy did this earthquake release? 4.2 = 0.219ln E +1.17 Substitute 4.2 for M. Solve for E. The earthquake released about 1,020,309 ergs of energy.
