Question

Solve 1n 2 + 1n x = 5. Round to the nearest thousandth, if necessary. (please help on a couple ?'s)

Answer 1

\[
\ln 2+\ln x = 5
\]Start by taking both sides and raising \(e\) to the power of them: \[
\begin{array}{rcl}
e^{\ln2+\ln x} &=& e^5\\
e^{\ln2}e^{\ln x} &=& e^5 \\
2x &=& e^5 \\
x &=& \frac{e^5}{2}
\end{array}
\]

Answer 2

= 74.20657955?
