@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.

OpenStudy (hockeychick23):

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.

OpenStudy (hockeychick23):

i got 22.242

OpenStudy (kropot72):

Good work! That is correct.

OpenStudy (hockeychick23):
