simplify eloge

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[e\log(e)\] \[e\log_e\] what base is the log?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

elog(e)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if it is log base e then then answer is e

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why is that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since \[\log_e(e)=1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if it is log base ten then there is nothing to simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

often \[\log_e(x)\] is written as \[\ln(x)\]so i was not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if loge(e) =1 how did you get e as your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry for the confusion satellite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i thought you wrote \[e\log(e)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i did write elog(e)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which if the base of the log was e would be \[e\times 1=e\] i am not sure what that e is doing out front. did you mean that as the base?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh no thats correct now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then if the log means log base e, the answer is e times 1 equals e
