Quadratic and Exponential Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve logarithmic equations by converting them into exponential equations. It demonstrates the process using two examples, identifying the base, exponent, and number in each equation. The first example involves solving a simple exponential equation, while the second example requires solving a quadratic equation. The tutorial provides a clear, step-by-step approach to finding the solutions for each equation.

What is the first step in solving a logarithmic equation?

• Subtract the exponent from both sides

• Add the base to both sides

• Convert it to a quadratic equation

• Convert it to an exponential equation

In the conversion process, what does the base represent?

• The number to be solved for

• The constant in the equation

• The base of the logarithm

• The exponent in the equation

What is the exponential form of the equation with base 4 and exponent 2?

• 2^4 = x - 2

• 2^2 = 4x - 2

• 4^2 = x + 4
