There are different kinds of exponential equations. These equations can be classified into 2 types. Steps to Solve.
Write the exponential equation 6 x 53 in logarithmic form.
If for some reason you insist on notational consistency you could use powexp1. The form for an exponential equation is ftP 0 1r th where P 0 is the initial value t is the time variable r is the rate and h is the number needed to ensure the units of t match up with the rate. In this example the base is 6 and the base moved from the left side of the exponential equation to the right side of the logarithmic equation and the word lo g was added. Now that the exponential term is by itself we need to use a logarithm to cancel the base 3.
