Reflecting all over these logarithms

I find it pretty easy to use logarithms and exponents. A lot of it is pretty much switching around and rearranging the parts of the equations to solve it appropriately.

All you really have to do is plug things in the right places and use the most accurate methods to find the solution.

We practiced both of these TEKs so that it would be easy to understand it and be able to apply it when it becomes necessary.

An example would be if I start of with log(5) 25=x, then I would need to shift the variables around to look like 5^x=25. Then all I would have to do is solve for x. The square root of 25 is 5, therefore 5 squared makes 25, meaning that x=2.

It seems harder than it really is, as long as you have an open mind and a good teacher. If it is explained well to you, you can catch on pretty quick.
