\(7ln~(x+2.8)=11.2\)
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
Remember :-
\[\large \bf \ln(x)=\log_{e} x~~~~where, ~~~e=euler's~constant ≈ 2.71828183\]
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
where , e =2.718
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
So,suppose :-
\[\large \bf \ln(x+2.8)=y\]
therefore,we get
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
\[\large \bf 7y=11.2\]
and find out the value of y first ?

@sleepyjess
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
y=1.6
sorry it wouldnt load until now so i couldnt see what you said
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
good,so we got, y=1.6
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
therefore,
\[\large \bf \ln(x+2.8)=1.6\]
\[\large \bf \log_{e}(x+2.8)=1.6 \]
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
Remember :-
\[\huge \bf \log_{x} y=n----->x^n=y\]

use this property..
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
\(e^{1.6}=x+2.8\)
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
good
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
and we have , e=2.7
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
plug in the value !!

what you get ????
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
4.9=x+2.8
2.1=x
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
yes.....
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
therefore,x=2.1
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
@mayankdevnani Sorry to bother you again... I understand everything except where you said 7y=11.2. How did you get this?

i supposed \[\large \bf \ln(x+2.8)=y\]
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
Thanks!
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
welcome :)
