What is Exponential Equation?
An exponential equation has the unknown in the exponent, as in 2ˣ = 8. Taking the logarithm of both sides brings the exponent down, because a logarithm is the inverse of an exponent.
How it works
The tool applies x = log(a) ÷ log(b), which is the change-of-base formula and works for any positive base other than 1. A base of 1 or a non-positive result is rejected with the reason, since neither can be reached by a positive base raised to a power.
