What is a one-to-one function?

Unit 3 Day 6
Equation Solving & Modeling

One-to-One Properties
For any exponential function = , if =
then = .
For any logarithmic function = log , if
log = log , then = .

Example 1
Solve the following exponential equation
algebraically.
/3
1
20
=5
2

Example 2
Solve the following exponential equation graphically.

=5
2

When solving logarithmic

equations, we must keep track of
our domain of each expression.
Check for extraneous solutions or
solutions that could get lost while
solving!!

Example 4

Solve the logarithmic equation.

Solve without a calculator.

log 2 = 2

= 96

Example 5

Example 6

Solve: ln 3 2 + ln( 1) = 2 ln()

Solve: log( 2) + log( + 5) = 2 log(3)
