This document discusses exponential and logarithmic functions and equations. It begins by defining exponential equations as equations where the variable appears as an exponent of a constant or variable base. It provides a method for solving exponential equations by reducing both sides of the equation to the same base and then equating the exponents. The document then provides 13 worked examples of solving various exponential equations. It explores properties of exponential functions like the multiplication of powers with the same base and solving systems of exponential equations. The goal is to demonstrate methods for solving different types of exponential equations.
