6 Bentuk Persamaan Eksponen - Matematika Peminatan Kelas X

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will explore the six forms of exponential equations as discussed in the video "6 Bentuk Persamaan Eksponen - Matematika Peminatan Kelas X". Understanding these equations is crucial for students in grade X, particularly for those focusing on advanced mathematics. Each section will provide clear explanations, practical examples, and tips for solving these types of equations.

Step 1: Understanding Exponential Equations

Exponential equations are expressions where a variable is in the exponent. The general form can be expressed as:

• ( a^x = b )

Key Points

• ( a ) is the base (a positive real number).
• ( x ) is the exponent (the variable).
• ( b ) is the result (a positive real number).

Step 2: Identify the Six Forms of Exponential Equations

The video outlines six specific forms of exponential equations. Familiarize yourself with these forms:

1. Simple Exponential Form:
   • Example: ( 2^x = 8 )
2. Exponential Growth:
   • Example: ( P(t) = P_0 e^{rt} )
3. Exponential Decay:
   • Example: ( N(t) = N_0 e^{-kt} )
4. Base Change:
   • Example: Changing from base 2 to base 10 in ( 2^x = 10 )
5. Logarithmic Form:
   • Example: Converting ( a^x = b ) to ( x = \log_a(b) )
6. Complex Exponential Form:
   • Example: Equations involving complex numbers in exponents.

Step 3: Solving Simple Exponential Equations

To solve equations in the simple exponential form, follow these steps:

1. Rewrite the equation in the form ( a^x = b ).
2. Identify ( a ) and ( b ).
3. Take the logarithm of both sides if necessary:
   • ( x = \log_a(b) )

Example

For ( 2^x = 8 ):

• Rewrite: ( 2^x = 2^3 )
• Therefore, ( x = 3 ).

Step 4: Applying Exponential Growth and Decay Models

Exponential growth and decay can be applied in various real-world scenarios like population growth or radioactive decay.

Practical Application

1. Exponential Growth:

   • Formula: ( P(t) = P_0 e^{rt} )
   • Example: If the initial population is 100 and the growth rate is 5%, find the population after 2 years.

2. Exponential Decay:

   • Formula: ( N(t) = N_0 e^{-kt} )
   • Example: If a substance has a half-life of 3 years, calculate the remaining amount after 9 years.

Step 5: Converting Between Exponential and Logarithmic Forms

Understanding how to switch between these forms is vital.

Steps:

1. Start with the exponential form ( a^x = b ).
2. Convert to logarithmic form ( x = \log_a(b) ).

Example

Convert ( 5^x = 25 ) to logarithmic form:

• ( x = \log_5(25) )
