Understanding Logarithmic Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve logarithmic equations by isolating the logarithm and converting it into an exponential equation. It demonstrates the process of entering logarithmic expressions into a computer using both keyboard and math pallet methods. The tutorial further guides on converting the isolated logarithm into an exponential form and evaluating it to find the solution. The final solution is derived by calculating the exponential expression.

What is the first step in solving a logarithmic equation?

• Add a constant to both sides

• Multiply both sides by the base

• Isolate the logarithm

• Convert it to a quadratic equation

How do you isolate the logarithmic part of the equation 4 log base 3 of x = 12?

• Subtract 4 from both sides
