In Exercises 21 and 22, use the discriminant to determine whether the equation has real number solutions or nonreal complex number solutions.
7.4 Exponential and Logarithmic Equations Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved. Introduction There are two basic strategies for solving exponential or logarithmic equations. The first is based on the One-to-One Properties and the second is based on the Inverse Properties. One-to-One Properties a = a if and only if x = y. logax = log a if and only if x = y. Inverse Properties a loa = x log a = x 2 Solving Simple Equations 3 Introduction 4 Example 1 Solve for x. a) 64 3x ▯ 32 2
