Exponential and Logarithmic Equations Lesson 5.6
y = 0.1 (10x) y = 0.5 Solving Exponential Equations Graphically • Given • Graphical Solution • Graph each side of the equation • Use calculator to find intersection
Solving Exponential Equations Symbolically • Given • Isolate the coefficientwith the exponent • Take log of bothsides • Use logarithm properties • Use division x
Try It Out • Given 3(2 x – 2) = 99 • Part of class solve graphically • Part of class solve symbolically
Logarithmic Equation • Consider ln 4x = 1.5 • Symbolic solution • Raise to the power of the base • Use property of logarithms • Use Division
Logarithmic Equation • Graphical solution of ln 4x = 1.5 • As before graph both sides of the equation • y = ln 4x y = 1.5 • Use calculatorto find intersection
Try It Out • Given • Part of class solve graphically • Part of class solve symbolically Will they ever meet again? Now what?
Applications • Gambling revenues (in billions $) from 1991 to 1995 can be modeled by • x is the year, x = 0 is 1991 • When did revenues reach $45 billion?
Assignment • Lesson 5.6 • Page 426 • Exercises 1 – 47 EOO and 51 – 67 odd
