e^x = 3
okay i get that you have to log it on both sides to get
Log(e)x=log(3)
and then you divide
log(3)/Log(e)
only i dont what the heck e is and my calculater doesnt have a button for it

e stands for exponential..

what base of the log would you prefer to take ?

anonymous · Answer

well i need the numerical version of e and im solving for x so i dont know

shubhamsrg · Answer

see,,when you take log on both sides, you are free to choose any base as per convenience, in this case, lets take your base be 'e' only..
so if base is e, can you tell me value of log e?

anonymous · Answer

.43 i think

shubhamsrg · Answer

suppose base is 10, and i ask you the value of log10 ,,what will that be?
