Question

I really need help: solve the logarithmic equation

ln squareroot of x+5 = 3

Answer 1

ln square root of x+5 = 3
rewrite:
ln(x+5)^(1/2) = 3 square root is also something raised to the half power.
which is the same as:
(1/2)ln(x+5) = 3 bring the exponent to the front
get rid of the (1/2) by multiplying 2 on both sides of the equation.
ln(x+5)=6
hope you can figure it out from there if you need an exact numerical answer.
