Episode 9 — Equations & Inequalities

Equations and Inequalities Example Solving Exponential Equations

Learners will be able to:

• Identify an exponential equation where x appears in the exponent. • Write a number as a power of a given base (e.g. 8 as 2 cubed). • Equate exponents when each side of the equation has the same base. • Solve for x by equating exponents in an exponential equation. • Apply the rule that equivalent bases can be used to solve exponential equations.
