Logarithms.. help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve for x \[\left( \ln x\right)^{2} = 3 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Big hint: e^(ln x) = x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you are still there, I can walk you through this. I figured out and verified the correct answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please do! i'm sorry i wasn't here before. was doing another question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np. Start by taking the +- square roots.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Once you do that, use my "big hint" from the first post. Try doing this and I'll check your work.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by taking the square roots on both sides of the equation, i would get \[\ln x = 1.73\] ? is this what you mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You get +- that # which is sqrt(3) or as you have put it, 1.73.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah.. and then what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I told you already, twice. Look at the "big hint".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You take both sides and use them as exponents for e. You will retain the equality. Don't forget it is + and -. Both.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Type out an answer and I'll check it for you.
