4 Solving Logarithmic Equ. 1

The document discusses how to solve logarithmic equations. It defines logarithmic equations and inequalities, and logarithmic functions. It then provides steps to solve logarithmic equations by isolating the logarithmic term, writing the equation in exponential form, and solving for the variable. Several examples are worked through applying these steps.
