Question

4•e^x=17

Answer 1

divide by 4 on both sides
hit both sides with a natural long.

Answer 2

What is natural long

Answer 3

it is the \(\Large\color{black}{\ln}\) . have you seen that thing before?

Answer 4

But how do you do e

Answer 5

Do you know that
\(\Large\color{black}{\log_aa=1}\)?

the \(\Large\color{black}{\ln}\) is same as, \(\Large\color{black}{\log_e}\)

And when you divide by 4 on both sides, which gets you ^x=17/4
you hit both sides with ln, like this,

\(\Large\color{black}{\ln (e^x)=\ln(17/4)}\)

then apply the rule,
\(\Large\color{black}{\ln (a^b)=b \ln(a)}\)

and refer back to the first rule I posted.
