Mastering Exponential Equations: Tips & Tricks for Math Olympiad 🧮

Exponential equations, as the name suggests, involve exponents. We know that the exponent of a number (base) indicates the number of times the number (base) is multiplied. But, what happens if the power of a number is a variable? When the power is a variable and if it is a part of an equation, then it is called an exponential equation. We may need to use the connection between the exponents and logarithms to solve the exponential equations.

Let us learn the definition of exponential equations along with the process of solving them when the bases are the same and when the bases are not the same along with a few solved examples and practice questions.
