Give an example of a logarithmic equation that cannot be solved. Explain why there is no solution to your equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ln(-1).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It can't be solved, because it is impossible to raise e to any power to get a negative number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

e^-2 is just 1/e^2. e^0 is 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh okay that makes sense, I was thinking it had something to do with a negative. Thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = ln(-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also ln0 can't really be solved i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so x = log (-1) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is an equation, which contains a logarithm, for which there is no value.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

perfect thank you
