Solving Exponential and Logarithmic Equations (Complete Guide) - College Algebra

In this video, we cover the two main methods for solving exponential equations: getting the same base and taking the Natural Log ($\ln$) of both sides. We specifically focus on Base e equations and how to use properties of logarithms to isolate the variable. We also cover how to solve Literal Equations (solving for a specific variable in a formula) and provide a summary of strategies for both equation types.
