 Hi! I’mExPo ! I will be your guide today as we go
through our lesson.

Lets Go Explore, is a material design for you to go in

search of learning on how you are going to solve exponential
equation.

Lets Go Explore, shall help you to be more inquisitive on

the discussion about exponential. It has varied activities that
will help you search knowledge about the topic.

Do not worry! Everything here is just an obvious treasure

to hunt. Read the instruction, Do the tasks, Answer

correctly, and most importantly, have fun in your hunting

for knowledge.
 Hey! To fully Laws of Exponents
accomplished
the task, bear 1. an =(a)(a)(a)(a) … n times
the following
in your mind.. 2. Power of a Power
 To apply an exponent to a power expression,
multiply the exponent.
(am)n = (a)mn
3. Power of a Quotient

4. Law for zero exponent
 For any nonzero number a, a0 = 1
5. Law for negative exponent
 For any nonzero number a, and an integer n;
Did you
know
that…?
Exponential Equation
 An equation in which the variable is
located in the exponent. It is also an
equation which involves exponential
expressions.

Examples:
72x-5 = 343 25x+3 = 125x-1

256 = 362x-1 45x+3 = 2162x-3

 One-to-one
To solve exponential Property of
equation, we must follow the Exponential
steps as follows:
Functions
Steps:
1. Write both sides with the If , then
same base.
2. Apply the one-to-one Conversely, if
property.
then, .
3. Solve for the value of x.

Write both sides with the same base.

Example: Apply one-to-one property.

Solve for x.

Baganga, Davao Oriental. But, my mother wanted me to do the task below before
going out, and I’m stuck into it. Can you please help me?

Direction:
Identify which of the following equations are
exponential and which are not. Write EE if the
equations are exponential and NEE if not
exponential equation.

Annyeong Millennial nowadays are K-POP lovers. Even their facebook timeline are bombarded
Hasaeyo of different posts about Korean actors & actresses, movies and even concert of their
idols. To remind you on the things you had learned, sing one of your favorite song with
the lyrics about the steps in solving exponential equation.
Solve for unknown
In solving exponential equation,
determine if the numbers can be written
using the same base.
If so, I will go to Step 2.
If not, I must stop and use steps
for solving with different bases.

The second step is to rewrite the problem

using the same base.
To simplify the exponents, I must
use the applicable laws of exponents.
Once the bases are the same,
I will drop the bases and set the exponents equal to each
other. By applying one -to- one property .

Lastly, finish solving the equation by isolating the variable

to solve for the unknown.
