Today Matthew and I worked on solving exponential equations with bases that are unable to be rewritten. First I showed Matthew the power rule property of logs that allows you to bring the exponent out in front of the log. Then I showed him how common logs can be simplified. Then Matthew used these concepts to solve the equations on his own. We discussed how it is important to choose a log with a base that is the same as the base in the exponent. These can be a bit tricky. We will get more practice tomorrow.
