B. Motivation
In solving logarithmic equations and inequalities, it is important for
students to remember the restrictions on the values of b and x in the
logarithmic expression logb x.
Recall that:
• b can be any positive real number except 1
• x can be any real number
• the entire expression logb x can be any real number (hence, can be
negative).
C. Presentation
Present the learning objective.
Present the guidelines on how to solve logarithmic equations as well as the
properties and laws of logarithm.
Guidelines in solving logarithmic equations:
1. Isolate the logarithmic term on one side of the equation.
2. Write the equation in exponential form.
3. Solve for the variable.
4. Check to make sure you do not have extraneous solutions.
D. Discussion/Abstraction
1.) Solve log2(2x + 1) = 3
SOLUTION
log2( 2x + 1) = 3
2x +1 = 32 Exponential form
2x+ 1 = 8
2x = 8 – 1
2x = 7 Simplify
7
x=2
2.) 4 ln 2x = 12
SOLUTION
ln 2x = 3 divide both sides by 4
e ln 2x = e3 Exponentiate both sides
2x = e3 Inverse Property
𝑒3
x= 2 Divide both sides by 2
x ≈ 10.04277
3. log3 (x + 25) − log3(x − 1) = 3
SOLUTION
log3 (x + 25) − log3(x − 1) = 3
4. 2logx = log 2 + log (3x − 4)
SOLUTION
log x2 = log(2) (3x – 4)
x2 = (2) (3x-4)
x2 = 6x-8
2
x - 6x + 8 = 0
(x – 4) (x – 2) = 0
x = 2, 4
E. Exercises
Find the value of x in the following equations.
1. log3(2x-1) = 2
2. log5 2x + log5(x+ 1) = log5(3x + 10)

C.
H. Evaluation
Find the value of x in the following logarithmic equations.
I. Agreement/Assignment
1. If logb 3 = 0.48, logb 4 = 0.60, and logb 5 = 0.70, find the following
logarithms. First item is done for you.
a. logb 15 = logb (3)(5) = logb 3 + logb 5 = 0.48 + 0.70 = 1.18
b. logb 30
c. logb 45
d. logb 120
e. logb 2.5
