Exponential equations have the variable in the exponent, such as 2^x = 8. One approach is to rewrite both sides using the same base. For example, 8 can be written as 2³, so 2^x = 2³ implies x = 3. In more complicated cases, you may take logarithms of both sides: If 5^x = 100, applying log yields x log(5) = log(100), so x = log(100)/log(5). Exponential equations govern growth phenomena, from population expansions to radioactive decay, making them central in biology, finance (compound growth), and physics. Mastering exponential solving ensures you can interpret and forecast exponential trends accurately.
