Solving Exponential Equations Using Logarithms • [8.4a] PRE-CALCULUS 12

Learn how to use logarithms to solve exponential equations that involve bases that are not necessarily related, including simple equations as well as more complicated ones where the variable is on both sides and the bases are different/unrelated.
See the rest of my videos covering other Exponential and Logarithmic Expressions and Equations concepts:    • ★ Exponential & Logarithmic Expressio...  

Corresponds to chapter 8, section 8.4 in McGraw-Hill's Pre-Calculus 12, but also fits with the exponents and logarithms unit from almost any other Pre-Calculus course or textbook.

My instructional approach emphasizes conceptual understanding of and connections between concepts and ideas, rather than just pure memorization.
