Solve the equation 7e2m13=117e^{2m-1} - 3 = 11. Find the exact solution set using logarithms and approximate solutions to 4 decimal places.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The given equation is 7e2m13=117 e^{2 m-1}-3=11.
2. We need to solve for mm.
3. The solution should be expressed in terms of common or natural logarithms.
4. An approximate solution should be provided to at least 4 decimal places.

STEP 2

First, we need to isolate the exponential term on one side of the equation. To do this, we will add 33 to both sides of the equation.
7e2m13+3=11+37 e^{2 m-1} - 3 + 3 = 11 + 3

STEP 3

Simplify both sides of the equation.
7e2m1=147 e^{2 m-1} = 14

STEP 4

Next, we will divide both sides of the equation by 77 to solve for the exponential term e2m1e^{2 m-1}.
7e2m17=147\frac{7 e^{2 m-1}}{7} = \frac{14}{7}

STEP 5

Simplify both sides of the equation.
e2m1=2e^{2 m-1} = 2

STEP 6

Now, we will take the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation to solve for 2m12m - 1.
ln(e2m1)=ln(2)\ln(e^{2 m-1}) = \ln(2)

STEP 7

Using the property of logarithms that ln(ex)=x\ln(e^x) = x, we can simplify the left side of the equation.
2m1=ln(2)2 m - 1 = \ln(2)

STEP 8

Next, we will add 11 to both sides of the equation to solve for 2m2m.
2m1+1=ln(2)+12 m - 1 + 1 = \ln(2) + 1

STEP 9

Simplify both sides of the equation.
2m=ln(2)+12 m = \ln(2) + 1

STEP 10

Now, we will divide both sides of the equation by 22 to solve for mm.
m=ln(2)+12m = \frac{\ln(2) + 1}{2}

STEP 11

This is the exact solution in terms of natural logarithms. We can now find an approximate solution by evaluating the right side of the equation using a calculator.
mln(2)+12m \approx \frac{\ln(2) + 1}{2}

STEP 12

Using a calculator, we find the approximate value of ln(2)\ln(2).
ln(2)0.6931\ln(2) \approx 0.6931

STEP 13

Substitute the approximate value of ln(2)\ln(2) into the equation.
m0.6931+12m \approx \frac{0.6931 + 1}{2}

STEP 14

Calculate the approximate value of mm.
m1.69312m \approx \frac{1.6931}{2}

STEP 15

Simplify the approximation.
m0.84655m \approx 0.84655

STEP 16

Round the approximation to at least 4 decimal places.
m0.8466m \approx 0.8466
The exact solution set is {ln(2)+12}\left\{\frac{\ln(2) + 1}{2}\right\}. m0.8466 m \approx 0.8466
