An exponential equation is an equation in which the unknown variable is in the exponent.

To solve an exponential equation, consider:

3 The exponent rules.

a⁰ = 1 ·

a¹ = a

a^m · a ⁿ = a^m+n

a^m : a ⁿ = a^{m - n}

(a^m)ⁿ = a^{m · n}

aⁿ · b ⁿ = (a · b) ⁿ

aⁿ : b ⁿ = (a : b) ⁿ

Solving Exponential Equations:

To solve an unknown that is in the exponent, use logarithms whose base is the base of the power.
