Solving Exponential Equations (I)

[b][color=#cc0000]Directions:[/color] [br][br]1) Solve the given exponential equation you see on the right side of the applet. [br]2) Write an exact expression for the solution to this equation. (It should be written as a logarithm.)[br]3) Use your calculator to obtain an approximate decimal value of this solution [br] (Round this value to the nearest 0.01).[/b][br][br]4) [b]Check the reasonableness of your solution by determining the coordinates (x, y) of the [br] intersection of graphs[/b] [i][color=#0000ff][b]f[/b][/color][/i] [b]and[/b] [i][color=#9900ff][b]g[/b][/color][/i][b].[/b] [br][br][i][color=#1e84cc]Generate as many examples as you need and work through these examples in order to master this concept!
