Logarithmic Equations and Powers

The video tutorial explains how to solve an equation where the variable X is in the exponent. It first demonstrates solving by matching powers with the same base, using the example of 3 raised to the power of 9 minus 3X equals 27. The tutorial then shows an alternative method using logarithms to achieve the same result. Both methods are explained step-by-step, ensuring a clear understanding of the process.

What is the initial equation discussed in the video?

• 9 raised to the power of 3x equals 27

• 3 raised to the power of 9x equals 27

• 3 raised to the power of x equals 27

• 3 raised to the power of 9 minus 3x equals 27

Why is it not necessary to use logarithms in this case?

• Because logarithms are too complex

• Because 27 can be rewritten as a power of 3

• Because the base is not 10

• Because the equation is already solved

How can 27 be expressed as a power of 3?

• 3 to the power of 2

• 3 to the power of 5

• 3 to the power of 3

• 3 to the power of 4

What must be true for the powers when the bases are the same?

• The powers must be equal

• The powers must be different

• The powers must be zero

• The powers must be negative

What is the purpose of matching the powers in the equation?

• To simplify the equation

• To complicate the equation

• To change the base

• To eliminate the variable

What is the resulting equation after matching the powers?

• 9 - 3x = 0

• 9 - 3x = 27

• 9 - 3x = 9

• 9 - 3x = 3

What is the value of x after solving the linear equation?

• 0

• 1

• 3

• 2

What operation is performed to isolate x in the linear equation?

• Addition of 3

• Subtraction of 3

• Multiplication by 3

• Division by -3

What is the alternative method to solve the equation?

• Using square roots

• Using multiplication

• Using division

• Using logarithms

What base is used for the logarithms in the alternative method?

• Base 3

• Base 10

• Base 2

• Base e
