Determine whether the following statement is true or false. To solve an exponential equation, we can take the common logarithm of both sides of the equation
Choose the correct answer below.
O A. The statement is true.
OB. The statement is false because exponential equations already contain logarithms and should be converted to exponential form in order to solve the equation
OC. The statement is false because we can only take the common logarithm of both sides if the variable appears in only the base of the exponential equation
OD. The statement is false because the right side of the equation must be zero for the resulting equation to be equivalent.
