@kropot72 could you help me with this please?
OpenStudy (kropot72):
You need to plug the given value of x (x = 8) into the given equation, which is as follows:
\[\large \ln (y)=7.55-0.556x\]
Then calculate the value of y.
OpenStudy (hockeychick23):
ohhh thanks! so i do: 7.55- 0.556(8)= 7.55-4.448=3.102 ?
OpenStudy (kropot72):
You are correct so far. The equation is now reduced to:
\[\large \ln (y)=3.102\]
Now you need to find the value of y.

ohh ok thanks, so do i divide both sides by ln?
OpenStudy (kropot72):
Not really. The equation we now have says that the natural logarithm of y is 3.102. We can therefore write:
\[\large y=e^{3.102}\]
So now you need to use a calculator to find the value of the exponential number e raised to the power of 3.102.

i got 22.242
OpenStudy (kropot72):
Good work! That is correct.
