Use the inverse properties of logarithms to simplify the expression. e^(1n3)

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

hint \[\huge e^{\ln x} = x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What? I don't understand

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

which part?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

that's actually a property

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

do you want me to prove it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's not l that's a one

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

wait what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

e^( one times n times three)

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

\[\huge e^{1n^3}?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Except they're all multiplied, 3 is not an exponent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1*n*3

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

wait 1 times n times 3? \[\huge e^{1n3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

well this doesnt make sense to me...let me think a bit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You think you know it apoorvk? If not, I'll just guess.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you really typing a reply? i'm about to guess

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

Actually, \[\large lnx = \log_ex\] lnx is just a way of denoting logx to the base e. Now, there's a very basic property of these logs, that says: \[\Large a^{\log_bc}=c^{\log_ba}\] So, in case of \(lnx\), which is \(log_ex\): \[\Large e^{lnx} = e^{\log_ex} = x^{\log_ee} = {x}\] Do you now understand what we're doing right here?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

it's 1n3 not ln3

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

@iwanttogohome - is it really '1' times 'n' times '3', or is it a typo and you actually meant 'ln3'??
