solve In 2+ In x= 5 I don't understand please help WILL GIVE MEDALS
There are 3 important rules for logs in problems such as this one. ln a + ln b = ln (ab) ln a - ln b + ln (a/b) b*ln a = ln (a^b) May I assume you're familiar with these? If so, which one applies to the problem you've posted?
the first one
@mathmale
OK. Right. If ln a + ln b = ln (ab), then ln 2 + ln 5 = ln (???)
How are you doing with this problem so far, DMB?
DMB: I surely would have liked to have helped you to find the solution to this problem. Next time, please let me know before you log off.
ln 2 + ln x = 5. Per the rules of log we convert to ln (2x) = 5. Now you must expointiate the log. Since it is a natural log we use e. e^ln(2x) = e^5. This will give you 2x = e^5. Solve from there.
@mathmale I think he was kicked out of the net so that he logged off without warning you.
Hey @mathmale sorry got kick off and then had to go to tennis practice
@nelsonjedi how do i solve that
|dw:1389571645870:dw|
is that the answer?
yes but it is 2x so divide by 2
how do you do that
\[\log_{b} A +\log_{b} D =\log_{b} AD \]
\[\ln x =\log_{e} x\] \[\log_{e} x+\log_{e} 2 =5\rightarrow \log_{e} 2x =5 \rightarrow \log_{e} 2x=5\log_{e} e\]
\[\log_{e} 2x=\log_{e} e ^{5} \rightarrow 2x=e ^{5} \rightarrow x=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }e ^{5}\]
so the answer is \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }e ^{5}\]
yes
understand now ?
yes thank you
