what is ln x = 4?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What is the base?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10 i'm pretty sure. the question says what is ln x = 4?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

If 10 is the base, why doesn't it say "log"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it couldn't be \[\approx \] 54 would it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm not sure, i'm quite sure of the base when it comes to natural logs.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

It is a natural log. That means that the base is e

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What is the exponent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldn't it be 4?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yes. The log is the exponent

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So if the base is e and the exponent is 4, you should take a calculator and evaluate the expression.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay! so i put that in my calculator and my question said to round it to the nearest hundredth. So it would be 54.60?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much. (:
