Solving Exponential Equations


Warm Up
Rewrite:
a) 8 as a power of 2 b) 64 as a power of 4

c) 1296 as a power of 6 d) 9x+1 as a power of 3

When the powers on each side of the equation have the same base, you can solve for the
variable by setting their exponent equal to one another.
Example 1
Solve for x.
a) 3 = 9 b) 2 =

c) 7 =7 d) 5 = 25

e) 3 = 9 f) = 32
