Solution of Exponential Equations Using Logarithms (VCE SSCE Mathematical Methods): Flashcards

$\log_a b = x$

They extract values from exponents

$x = \log_2 11$

Stays the same

Reverses

Function is decreasing

Strictly increasing

Strictly decreasing

$a > 0$, $a \neq 1$, and $b > 0$

Isolate exponential, then convert to log form
