Solving Exponential Equations Help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK, so to solve you are going to take the natural log of both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do I do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ln 7 = ln 27.09 Divide both sides by ln 7 ln 7/ln 7 = ln 27.09/ln 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1=1.70

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your answer would be approx 1.70

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you understand how I got that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One second I'm going to try another one and send it to you to see if I'm right...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have no idea how to do this one....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is similar to the last problem you had so you take the natural log of 5.5 and round your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.89?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is not what I got... it is approximately 1.70

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you put in your calculator ln(5.5) since that is what you are trying to solve?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay I pushed enter after..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The .89

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Johnbc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You would need to do the opposite of \[e^x\] to both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So divide?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Opposite of that would be \[Ln\] so take the natural log of both sides
