ln(8x-1)=2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve the equation for x. Write the exact solution and the approximate solution to the nearest hundredth, when appropriate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the invrse operation of ln(x) is e^x so the first step is taking e^(both sides), giving: \[e^{\ln(8x -1)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[e^{(\ln(8x -1)} = 8x - 1 = e^2 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and you'd solve for x normally, taking the e^2 value from calculator
