Solve this equation for x. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
1= ln(x+8)
Use the property z=a^logaZ

applying that property, you know that: \(e^{\ln x} = x\)
.. for your question, change the bases into e on both sides, so it will look like this:
\(\sf \large e^1= e^{ln(x+8)}\)
now simplify this using the property

Im still confused...could you explain the process??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if \(\ln(\text{whatever})=1\) then \(\text{whatever}=e\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How do i go about finding the answer? I dont understand
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Would it be 2??

What is e^1?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I dont know what e^1 is
OpenStudy (owlet):
then using the rule, what is e^ln(x+8) simplify to?
it is like z=a^log a z,
a= e
z= x+8 , therefore, e^ln(x+8) is equal to?
OpenStudy (owlet):
any number raised by one will be equal to the number itself., so e^1 =e
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I still dont understand how to find the answer.

simplify the equation first before you can find the value of x
