Some logarithmic problems are solved by simply dropping the logarithms while others are solved by rewriting the logarithmic problem in exponential form. How do we decide what is the correct way to solve a logarithmic problem?
This topic introduces logarithms and exponential equations. Logarithms are used to solve exponential equations, and so are used along with exponential functions when modelling growth and decay. The logarithmic function is an important mathematical function and you will meet it again if you study calculus.
After reading this text and / or viewing the video tutorial on this topic you should be able to: explain what is meant by a logarithm. state and use the laws of logarithms. solve simple equations requiring the use of logarithms.

Solving Logarithmic Equations (Word Problems) Example 1. INVESTMENT Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell are saving for their daughter’s college education. They invest $10,000 in an account that pays 4.5% interest compounded continuously with the goal to have twice that amount in the account in ten years. a.
Graphing Exponential and Logarithmic Functions. Work with a partner. Complete each table for the given exponential function. Use the results to complete the table for the given logarithmic function. Explain your reasoning. Then sketch the graphs of f and g in the same coordinate plane. a.
Understanding Logarithms Intuitively. Adam A. Smith. Logarithms make a lot of people anxious. A lot of this has to do with the way they're often taught in high school and secondary school: by memorizing all the proper steps, without imparting much deeper meaning. For example, maybe you were once taught to solve problems like this: log7 49 = ?
