Exponential and Logarithmic
Equations and Inequalities
An exponential equation is an equation containing
one or more expressions that have a variable as an
exponent. To solve exponential equations:
• Try writing them so that the
bases are all the same.
• Take the logarithm of both
sides.

Helpful Hint
When you use a rounded number in a check, the
result will not be exact, but it should be
reasonable.

Example 1A: Solving Exponential Equations
Solve and check.
98 – x = 27x – 3
(32)8 – x = (33)x – 3 Rewrite each side with the same
base; 9 and 27 are powers of 3.
To raise a power to a power,
316 – 2x = 33x – 9
multiply exponents.
16 – 2x = 3x – 9 Bases are the same, so the
exponents must be equal.

Example 2: Biology Application
Suppose a bacteria culture doubles in size
every hour. How many hours will it take for
the number of bacteria to exceed 1,000,000?
At hour 0, there is one bacterium, or 20 bacteria. At
hour one, there are two bacteria, or 21 bacteria,
and so on. So, at hour n there will be 2n bacteria.
Solve 2n > 106
Write 1,000,000 in scientific
annotation.
log 2n > log 106
Take the log of both sides.

You receive one penny on the first day, and
then triple that (3 cents) on the second day,
and so on for a month. On what day would
you receive a least a million dollars.
$1,000,000 is 100,000,000 cents. On day 1, you
would receive 1 cent or 30 cents. On day 2, you
would receive 3 cents or 31 cents, and so on. So, on
day n you would receive 3n–1 cents.
Solve 3n – 1 > 1 x 108
Write 100,000,000 in scientific
annotation.
