OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):
here are some log rules to help you out :)
\[\ln a + \ln b = \ln ab\]
\[\ln a = \log_{e} a\]
OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):
So first, using the log laws above.
What would \[\ln 4 + \ln (3x) = ?\]
OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):
hint: 4 times 3x = ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Um, I'm not sure

12x ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah you got \[\ln(12x)=2\] to solve
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I'm still confused?!
OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):
correct! :)
So,
\[\ln 4 + \ln 3x = 2 \]
\[\ln 12x = 2\]
use this rule to help you:
\[\ln a =\log_{e} a\]
and
\[\log_{e} a = b \]
\[e^{b}= a\]

I'm still not sure how to do it ??? :-/

12=e^2 ?
OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):
so first let's RE-WRITE "ln12x" in log form.
\[\ln12x=\log_{e}12x \]
So now we know:
ln12x=2
\[\log_{e} 12x = 2\]
OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):
(sorry i made a typo before LOL)
So, we want to use the rule to help solve for x:
\[\log_{e} a = b\] where \[a = e^{b}\]
apply this rule to \[\log_{e} 12x = 2\]
OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):
so, 12x = ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2 ?

1n 4 + 1n (3x) = 2
by log rules:
ln ( 4*3x) = 2
now raise both sides to the power of e
