What defines an exponential equation?

Unknown variable in the exponent

If ax=aya^x = a^y (where a>0a > 0, a1a \neq 1), what can we conclude?

x=yx = y

Which of these is a useful base conversion to remember?

27=3327 = 3^3

Solve 4x=2564^x = 256 using the same base method.

x=4x = 4

When should you use quadratic substitution for exponential equations?

When equation has both a2xa^{2x} and axa^x

What is always true about axa^x when a>0a > 0?

ax>0a^x > 0 for all real xx

In 3x=93^x = -9 or 3x=33^x = 3, which solution(s) are valid?

Only 3x=33^x = 3 (so x=1x = 1)

For 24x>212^{4x} > 2^1 (base is 2), what is the solution?

x>14x > \frac{1}{4}

If 0<a<10 < a < 1 and ax>aya^x > a^y, what is the relationship between xx and yy?

x<yx < y

Why does inequality direction reverse when 0<a<10 < a < 1 in ax>aya^x > a^y?

The exponential function is decreasing
