math hep plz
solve the given equation for *X* if possible.|dw:1568299284713:dw|
i need someone to hold my hand and guide me through this problem
e^2x ??? Or what? I need some context if this isn't the entire quation
that *2x* is pretty up there bro... it can only be power to be that high.
XD Alrightttt sheeesh
@dude I haven't learned this yet
Don't complain XD
k thanks for trying mate. appreciated.
Okay you first want to get rid of e (since there are no common bases here) So do ln() on both sides Btw do you know what `ln()` is?
the natural base to natural log is *E* sooo
i can plug that in ??
ln is just the opposite of e, so you're basically cancelling it out |dw:1568299915021:dw| Also remember to use the law of logs (Moving the power to the front)

omg i just realized something...i've actually already done that question and i corrected my mistake on the paper... hold up, let me post the actual question that i need your help with...sorry
Its okay dont worry \(\large \frac{ln(4)}{2}\) is also \(ln(2)\)
but my book says it's this...|dw:1568300430423:dw|
next question :) |dw:1568300466234:dw|
|dw:1568301988299:dw|
|dw:1568302222670:dw|
Be careful You cannot divide \(\large\frac{ln(6)}{ln(3)}\)
Use this formula: \[\frac{\log_{a}(b)}{\log_{a}(c)} = \log_{c}(b)\]
so what do i do ?
|dw:1568306396271:dw|
I am not sure whether you need to do that but just look at the variables chen used |dw:1568306809864:dw|
ok? im solving for x so i need to isolate all the variables on one side
Yeah \(\large \frac{ln(6)}{ln(3)}+1\) is right unless they specifically asked you to simplify completely
do you know the answer is |dw:1568307258001:dw|
i've check the answer to that question.. twice.
Apply the base changing formula to log3(2)
|dw:1568307465692:dw|
gimme a little more info.. plz
As an example ^
omg... |dw:1568307641030:dw|
Wasn't 2 being added to the logarithmic relation?
Leave the 2 alone you can evaluate log3(2) and add
yes... sorry.. letme correst.
|dw:1568307763617:dw|
ok what do i do now ? :/
Evaluate using a calculator
no.... i literally gave you the answer from the textbook... wait, let me rewrite the answer.. |dw:1568307941824:dw|
Is it asking you to evaluate or simplify
but with arithmatically i'm getting this.. |dw:1568307980361:dw|
the question says *solve for the given equation for x, if possible
|dw:1568308084759:dw| Where's the x here? It looks like 2 + log3(2)
that's logbase 3 and number 2. the whole thing is equal to x
they didn't write x=............the answer that i posted up there^^ just the answer
|dw:1568309672384:dw|
Keep going
wait, we started from .... |dw:1568310024903:dw|
|dw:1568310095965:dw|
so far so good?
jus rework with me on this.. i forgot where we were..thanks :)
|dw:1568310280614:dw|
|dw:1568310259337:dw|
good so far? or am i making some sort of mistake?
|dw:1568310395373:dw|
oh ok
|dw:1568310486215:dw|
|dw:1568310568003:dw|
|dw:1568310601768:dw|
is there anything else left to do ?
|dw:1568310649371:dw|
but 3 isn't the common base tho. the common base is e
and how did log turn into natural log?
\[\frac{\ln a}{\ln b} = \log_{b}(a)\]
\[\frac{\log_{e}(6)}{\log_{e}(3)} = \log_{3}(6) = \log_{3}(2*3)=\log_{3}(2)+\log_{3}(3)\]

i think i got it... thanks mate. really appreciated your help ^~^
next question.
i'll post in the new thread
