solve e^3x = 2

OpenStudy (austinl):

\[e^{3x} = 2\] or \[e^3x = 2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first one

OpenStudy (austinl):

We would take that natural log of each side first. Can you do that for me? Leaving in exact terms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x=ln2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (austinl):

That is correct. So to solve for x we would divide by three, correct? x = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes x=ln2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that it?

OpenStudy (austinl):

There you go :) Usually, math classes want it in exact terms. If they want an approximation, you can just plug that into a calculator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
