Then by plugging this value into our equation we arrive at an expression for the half-life. So we have a generally useful formula. Y a 1 -bx.
You will need to divide each side of.
Steps to Solve Exponential Equations using Logarithms 1 Keep the exponential expression by itself on one side of the equation. Divide by 32 on both sides. Rewrite this equation so that it looks like the other ones we solved. Its similar to solving an exponential equation.
