Exponential Functions and Equations

Adele Kumar explains how to solve an exponential equation by rewriting it in product form, simplifying terms, and verifying the solution through substitution. The process involves expressing the equation in a way that allows for simplification and checking the solution to ensure accuracy.

What is the initial exponential equation presented in the video?

• 6^(x+1) + 6^(x+2) = 7

• 6^x + 6^(x+1) = 7

• 6^(x+1) + 6^(x+2) = 7

• 6^(x+1) + 6^x = 7

What is the first step in rewriting the equation?

• Dividing both sides by 6

• Multiplying both sides by 6

• Factoring out the common term

• Adding the exponents

How is 6^(x+1) rewritten in the product form?
