# Algebra II : Solving and Graphing Exponential Equations

## Example Questions

### Example Question #14 : Solving Exponential Functions

Solve for .

Explanation:

First, we need to convert  to base .

We know .

Therefore we can write the following expression:

.

Next, when we add exponents of the same base, we need to see if we can factor out terms.

In this case, let's factor out .

We get the following:

.

Since we are now multiplying with the same base, we get the following expression:

.

Now we have the same base and we just focus on the exponents.

The equation is now:

Solve.

### Example Question #11 : Solving Exponential Equations
