QuestionSolve the equation and express the solution using natural logarithms.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The base of the natural logarithm is e (uler's number, approximately.71828)
. The equation is in the form
3. We need to solve for x
STEP 2
To solve for x in the given equation, we need to isolate x. We can do this by taking the natural logarithm on both sides of the equation. The natural logarithm of a number is the exponent to which the base e must be raised to produce that number.
STEP 3
The property of logarithms states that . Therefore, we can simplify the left side of the equation.
STEP 4
Since the natural logarithm of e is1 (), the left side of the equation simplifies to
STEP 5
Now, we have the equation
STEP 6
To solve for x, we need to subtract from both sides of the equation.
STEP 7
This is the solution for x in terms of natural logarithms.
The solution to the equation is
