15. Solve the equation by expressing each side as a power of the same base and then equating exponents.

16. Solve the exponential equation. Express the solution set in terms of natural logarithms.

17. Solve the logarithmic equation. Be sure to reject any value that is not in the domain of the original logarithmic expressions. Give the exact answer.
log2(x + 2) + log2(x - 4) = 4

18. Solve the logarithmic equation. Be sure to reject any value that is not in the domain of the original logarithmic expressions. Give the exact answer.
log6(x - 3) = 2

22. Use properties of logarithms to expand the logarithmic expression as much as possible. Where possible, evaluate logarithmic expressions without using a calculator.

23 Use properties of logarithms to write as a single logarithmic expression as much as possible. Where possible, evaluate logarithmic expressions without using a calculator.

24. Solve the polynomial equation. In order to obtain the first root, use synthetic division to test the possible rational roots.
2x3 - 13x2 + 22x - 8 = 0

25. Solve the polynomial equation. In order to obtain the first root, use synthetic division to test the possible rational roots.
