e^log3 - e^log 2 =

myininaya (myininaya):

e^log3-e^log2=3-2=1

myininaya (myininaya):

thats assuming thats log base e

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i see is it the same as doing this e^log3 - e^log 2 = e^log1 =e^0 =1

myininaya (myininaya):

e^x and lnx are inverse functions so e^ln3=3 and e^ln2=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so they cancel out

myininaya (myininaya):

yea! are we to assume that the logs are base e?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it says it in the text book also one other question \[\int\limits_{\log6}^{\log4} e ^{-x}\]

myininaya (myininaya):

the antiderivative of e^(-x) is -e^(-x)+C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what ive done is this [\[[-e^{-x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you get -e^-log6+e^-log4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then using what you said before the answer should be 10

myininaya (myininaya):

no upper limit is log4 right? lower limit is log6 right? it looks like you plugged in the lower limit first

myininaya (myininaya):

and also if we simplify what you have we have -6^(-1)+4^(-1)=......

myininaya (myininaya):

=-1/6+1/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{\log4}^{\log6}e ^{-x}\] it should be that lol sorry i did it the wrong way round.

myininaya (myininaya):

ok then what you have is right but you still simplified wrong

myininaya (myininaya):

do you remember rlogx=logx^r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah my answer is wrong according to the back of the book the answer should be 1/12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i rember that

myininaya (myininaya):

so we have -e^[-log6]=-e^log6^(-1)=-6^(-1)=-1/6 and we have e^[-log4]=e^log4^(-1)=4^(-1)=1/4

myininaya (myininaya):

and, you still there?

myininaya (myininaya):

do you got it from here? i'm fixing to go to bed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok yeah thanks i get it lol thanks :) good night
