Form: af(x) = b
Conditions: a > 0, a ≠ 1, b > 0
Solution method: Take logarithm of both sides
2x = 8
Form: loga(f(x)) = b
Conditions: a > 0, a ≠ 1, f(x) > 0
Solution method: Convert to exponential form
log2(x) = 3
Combined Exponential and Logarithmic Equations
Complex forms combining both exponential and logarithmic functions
2x + 2x+1 = 12
