 Lesson
Solving Equations and
1 Inequalities
We are living in a world where diversity exists. Things vary from each other. Various
decisions lead to several differing results. These differences, nevertheless, are always
present. In the same manner, in the previous module, we have learned that
statements containing exponential expressions may take various forms. And we have
understood that despite their differences, what is important is to know how to
classify each accordingly and how to deal with them.

What’s In

Listed below are statements with exponential expressions. Which are exponential
functions? exponential equations? exponential inequalities?

(a) 4𝑥 = 2𝑥+1 (d) 81 = 93𝑥 (g) 𝑦 = 𝑒 𝑥 (j) 𝑔(𝑥) = 6𝑥 3

(b) 100 > 10𝑥−2 (e) 𝑓(𝑥) = 5𝑥−4 (h) (0.81)2𝑥 ≥ 0.9
(c) 16𝑥 = 𝑥 2 (f) 27 < 3𝑥 (i) 25𝑥−2 = 53𝑥

Recall that an exponential function is not intended to be solved as it simply shows

relationship between two variables. In the above list, (e) and (g) are both exponential
functions. Why is (j) not considered as one? Though it has two variables, yet it is not
an exponential expression since the exponent is not a variable.

Both exponential equation and inequality, on the other hand, are the ones whose x
values satisfying the given statements, are meant to be solved. They both involve only
one variable. Among the given above, (a), (d), and (i) are exponential equations. They
are equations involving exponential expressions and are consisted of only one
variable. How about (c)? It does not even have an exponential expression since its
exponent is a constant.

The statements in (b) and (h) are the only exponential inequalities in the list. They
both have exponential expressions consisting of one variable only. Also, they both
use inequality symbols. (f) has inequality symbol, but why can’t you consider it as
exponential inequality? It is since its exponent is not a variable, hence it is not an
exponential expression.

Module 18
 Notes to the Teacher
Stress once again that not all functions, equations, or inequalities
with exponents, contain exponential expressions. Instead, only
those involving variable exponents are considered as so.

What’s New

Raise It!
This time let us see how fast you can compute mentally and how smart your
reasoning power is. Just answer as fast as you can without looking at the solutions
below. Ready? Let us begin!

1. How many times do you have to multiply 4 by itself to obtain 64?

2. How will you write it in symbols?
3. What kind of mathematical expression is it?
4. How many times do you have to multiply 4 by itself so that the result will be
greater than 64?
5. How will you write the fourth question in symbols?
6. What kind of mathematical expression is being depicted by it?

Solutions:
1. Sounds like you find it easy. Correct, three times!
2. Expressing it in symbols, it is 4𝑥 = 64. Then, it becomes 43 = 64, based on your
first answer.
3. In the previous module, you have learned that 4𝑥 = 64 is an exponential
equation since it is an exponential expression with only one variable and
involving an equation.
4. You might answer 5, 6, 7, 8, and so on. They are all correct. But actually, even
non-integers may be solutions as long as they are greater than 4. Hence the
solution is x > 4.
5. When written in symbols, it is 4𝑥 > 64.
6. It is an exponential inequality since it involves an exponential expression with
only one variable and an inequality.

Module 18
 What is It

In the previous activity you have been able to solve for the values of the unknown in
both exponential equation and inequality. Most probably you have successfully
solved them mentally. How do your solutions really work? Let us try to understand
it further.

Solving Exponential Equation

One-to-one Property of Exponential Functions states that in 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑏 𝑥 , if 𝑥1 ≠ 𝑥2 , then
𝑏 𝑥1 ≠ 𝑏 𝑥2 . Conversely, if 𝑏 𝑥1 = 𝑏 𝑥2 , then 𝑥1 = 𝑥2 . This property paves the way in
understanding how to solve exponential equation.

Example 1: Solve for the value of x in 4𝑥+1 = 64.

Solution:
4𝑥+1 = 43 Express 64 as 43 , in order for both sides of the equation
to have same bases.
𝑥+1 =3 One-to-one Property of Exponential Functions states that
if 𝑏 𝑥1 = 𝑏 𝑥2 , then 𝑥1 = 𝑥2 .
𝑥+1−1 =3−1 Use Addition Property of Equality in order to solve for the
value of x.
𝑥=2 Combine like terms.

Example 2: Solve for the value of x in 34𝑥 = 9𝑥+1 .

Solution:
34𝑥 = (3)2(𝑥+1) Express 9 as 32 , in order for both sides of the equation
to have same bases.
4𝑥 = 2𝑥 + 2 One-to-one Property of Exponential Functions states
that if 𝑏 𝑥1 = 𝑏 𝑥2 , then 𝑥1 = 𝑥2 .
4𝑥 − 2𝑥 = 2𝑥 + 2 − 2𝑥 Use Addition Property of Equality in order to solve for the
value of x.
2𝑥 = 2 Combine like terms.
𝑥=1 Use Multiplication Property of Equality by multiplying
both sides of the equation by ½.

6 CO_Q1_General Mathematics SHS

Module 18
Solving Exponential Inequality

Recall that in an exponential function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑏 𝑥 , 𝑏 > 0 but 𝑏 ≠ 1. Now, the key to
solving exponential inequality is the fact that if 𝑏 > 1 and 𝑥1 > 𝑥2 , then 𝑏 𝑥1 > 𝑏 𝑥2 .
Otherwise, if 0 < 𝑏 < 1, then 𝑏 𝑥1 < 𝑏 𝑥2 . Let us further make this clearer by considering
the next examples.

Example 3: Solve for the values of x in 5𝑥 > 125𝑥+8

Solution:
5𝑥 > (5)3(𝑥+8) Express 125 as 53 , for both sides of the inequality to
have same bases.
𝑥 > 3𝑥 + 24 𝑏 = 5. It is a fact that if 𝑏 > 1 and 𝑏 𝑥1 > 𝑏 𝑥2 , then 𝑥1 >
𝑥2 .
𝑥 − 𝑥 − 24 > 3𝑥 + 24 − 𝑥 − 24 Use Addition Property of Equality in order to solve for
the value of x.
−24 > 2𝑥
Combine like terms.
𝑥 < −12 Use Multiplication Property of Equality by
multiplying both sides of the equation by ½.

Hence, the solution to the exponential inequality 5𝑥 > 125𝑥+8 is the set of all real
numbers less than -12. In symbols, that is, 𝑥 < −12 or (−∞, −12).

1 2𝑥+9 1 𝑥−5
Example 4: Solve for the values of x in ( ) ≤ ( ) .
7 343
Solution:
1 2𝑥+9 1 3(𝑥−5) 1 1 3
( ) ≤ ( ) Express as ( ) , in order for both sides of
343 7
7 7
the inequality to have same bases.
2𝑥 + 9 ≥ 3𝑥 − 15 1
𝑏 = . It is a fact that if 0 < 𝑏 < 1 and 𝑏 𝑥1 <
7
𝑏 𝑥2 , then 𝑥1 > 𝑥2 .
2𝑥 + 9 − 2𝑥 + 15 ≥ 3𝑥 − 15 − 2𝑥 + 15 Use Addition Property of Equality in order to
solve for the value of x.
24 ≥ 𝑥 or 𝑥 ≤ 24 Combine like terms.

1 2𝑥+9 1 𝑥−5
Thus, the solution to the exponential inequality ( ) ≤ ( ) is the set of all real
7 343
numbers less than or equal to 24. In symbols, that is, 𝑥 ≤ 24 or (−∞, 24].
