Logarithmic Functions and Exponential Equations

The video tutorial introduces logarithms, explaining their relationship with exponential equations. It covers how to convert exponential equations into logarithmic form and demonstrates using calculators to solve logarithmic expressions. The change of base formula is explained for cases where calculators do not allow base changes. Several examples are provided to illustrate solving logarithmic equations, emphasizing the equivalence of exponential and logarithmic expressions.
