    Exponential Equations
    ::指数等量

    Until now, we have only solved pretty basic exponential equations. But, what happens when the power is not easily found? We must use logarithms, followed by the Power Property to solve for the exponent .
    ::到目前为止,我们只解决了相当基本的指数方程式。但是,当电力不易找到时会怎样呢?我们必须使用对数,然后是电力财产,为指数者解决。

    Let's solve the following more complicated exponential equations.
    ::让我们解决以下更复杂的指数方程式。

    1. 6 x = 49  (Round your answer to the nearest three decimal places)
      ::6x=49( 将您的答复锁定到最接近小数点后三位位数)

    To solve this exponential equation, let’s take the logarithm of both sides. The easiest logs to use are either ln (the natural log), or log (log, base 10). We will use the natural log.
    ::为了解决这个指数式方程式,让我们使用两边的对数。 最容易使用的日志是 in( 自然日志 ) , 或者 log( 基数 10 ) 。 我们将使用自然日志 。

    6 x = 49 ln 6 x = ln 49 x ln 6 = ln 49 x = ln 49 ln 6 2.172

    ::6x=49ln_6x=ln_49xln_9x_6=ln_49x=ln_49_6__6}#2.172

    1. 10 x 3 = 100 3 x + 11
      ::10x-3=1003x+11

    Change 100 into a power of 10.
    ::将100变成10的功率

    10 x 3 = 10 2 ( 3 x + 11 ) x 3 = 6 x + 22 25 = 5 x 5 = x

    ::10x-3=102(3x+11)x-3=6x+22-2-5=5x-5=x

    1. 8 2 x 3 4 = 5
      ::82x-3-4=5

    Add 4 to both sides and then take the log of both sides.
    ::双方加4,然后取出双方的日志。

    8 2 x 3 4 = 5 8 2 x 3 = 9 log 8 2 x 3 = log 9 ( 2 x 3 ) log 8 = log 9 2 x 3 = log 9 log 8 2 x = 3 + log 9 log 8 x = 3 2 + log 9 2 log 8 2.56

    ::82 - 3 - 4= 582x - 3= 9log_ 82x - 3= log_ 9(2x- 3) log_ 8= log_ 92x- 3= log_ 82x= 3+ log_ 9log_ 8x= 3+ log_ 9log_ 8x= 32+log_ 92log_ 8_ @ 2. 56

    Notice that we did not find the numeric value of log 9 or log 8 until the very end. This will ensure that we have the most accurate answer.
    ::注意我们直到最后才发现对数=%9 或对数=8。 这将确保我们得到最准确的答案 。

    Examples
    ::实例

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Earlier, you were asked to determine what number you are thinking of if the number satisfies the equation  4 x + 1 = 256
    ::早些时候,有人要求你确定,如果数字满足4x+1=256等式,你考虑的数字是多少。

    We can rewrite the equation 4 x + 1 = 256 as 2 2 ( x + 1 ) = 2 8 and solve for x .
    ::我们可以重写 4x+1=256 的方程式为 22(x+1)=28, 并解决 x 。

    2 2 ( x + 1 ) = 2 8 2 2 x + 2 = 2 8 2 x + 2 = 8 x = 3

    ::22(x+1)=2822x+2=282x+2=8x=3

    Therefore , you're thinking of the number 3.
    ::因此,你是在考虑3号

    Example 2
    ::例2

    Solve:  4 x 8 = 16 .
    ::解决:4x-8=16。

    Change 16 to 4 2 and set the exponents equal to each other.
    ::更改 16 到 42 , 并 将 指数 等值 设定 。

    4 x 8 = 16 4 x 8 = 4 2 x 8 = 2 x = 10

    ::4x-8=164x-8=42x-8=2x=10

    Example 3
    ::例3

    Solve:  2 ( 7 ) 3 x + 1 = 48 .
    ::解决时间: 2(7)3x+1=48。

     Divide both sides by 2 and then take the log of both sides.
    ::双方除以2,然后取出双方的日志。

    2 ( 7 ) 3 x + 1 = 48 7 3 x + 1 = 24 ln 7 3 x + 1 = ln 24 ( 3 x + 1 ) ln 7 = ln 24 3 x + 1 = ln 24 ln 7 3 x = 1 + ln 24 ln 7 x = 1 3 + ln 24 3 ln 7 0.211

    ::2(7)3x+1=4873x+1=24ln 73x+1=ln 24(3x+1) 7=ln 2443x+1=ln 24l_73x_1+1+ln 2400=7x=13+ln 243ln @7_0

    Example 4
    ::例4

    Solve:  2 3 5 x + 2 + 9 = 21 .
    ::解决时间:235x+2+9=21。

    Subtract 9 from both sides and multiply both sides by 3 2 . Then, take the log of both sides.
    ::从两边减9, 乘以两边32, 然后,取取两边的日志。

    2 3 5 x + 2 + 9 = 21 2 3 5 x + 2 = 12 5 x + 2 = 18 ( x + 2 ) log 5 = log 18 x = log 18 log 5 2 0.204

    ::23_5x+2+9=2123_5x+2=125x+2=18(x+2),log_5=log_18x=log_18log_5-20.204
