07 1-7 Exponential equations by equalising the base

  • If aˣ = aʸ with a > 0 and a ≠ 1, then x = y: write both sides as powers of the same base and equate the exponents.
  • Example: 3x+1 = 27 → 3x+1 = 3³ → x = 2.
  • Example: 4x = 8 → 2²ˣ = 2³ → x = 3/2.
  • Check the answer by substitution; an exponential equation over a positive base has exactly one real root when the bases match.
