@jtug6 lend a hand?

OpenStudy (jtug6):

mhm 1 sec

OpenStudy (jtug6):

Okay so do you know the inverse of ln?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uh I don't think so

OpenStudy (jtug6):

Ok well basically ln and e are inverses of eachother where e raised to the ln power cancels it out as does ln of e so \[e^{\ln}\] goes away and \[\ln(e)\] goes away as well

OpenStudy (jtug6):

so ln 4 + ln(2x) = 2 means you need to first subtract ln 4 from both sides because we want x entirely isolated even though its inside of ln

OpenStudy (jtug6):

so what is that?

OpenStudy (danjs):

from addition property of log functions, maybe combine both on the left to begin ln(4) + ln(3x) ----> ln(12x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry I had went away for a bit

OpenStudy (danjs):

use base e and raise everything to powers \[\huge e^{\ln(12x)} = e^2 \]

OpenStudy (jtug6):

That works too or you can just subtract ln4 take e raise it then divide by 3 to find x.

OpenStudy (danjs):

left with 12x=e^2, some number

OpenStudy (danjs):

yeah, all works the same

OpenStudy (jtug6):

mhmmmmm :D

OpenStudy (danjs):

in that case, why not make ln(3x) --- ln(3) + ln(x) ....to follow that custom.. hah idk

OpenStudy (jtug6):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lollll
