Solving Logarithmic Equations

To solve a logarithmic equation:

     1 ) Rewrite the equation in exponential form .

     2 ) Solve for the variable .

Example 1:

Solve for x : log 3 x = 4

3 4 = x x = 81

Example 2:

Solve for x : ln x = 3

e 3 = x x 20.086

Example 3:

Solve for x : log 10 ( x 3 ) = 2

10 2 = x 3

100 = x 3

x = 103
