Question

Use a calculator to find the value of t. Round to the nearest thousandth. T=ln 1.5-3

Answer 1

-2.595

Explanation:

When inputting this function into your calculator, we need to be aware of a couple things:

1.) his is ln(1.5) - 3, and not ln(1.5-3). Negative numbers cannot be put into the natural log function.

2.) That is because lnx is another way of saying
`log_(e)x`. If you're having trouble finding ln on the calculator, use logx/loge (an odd rule that you'll learn soon from the looks of it.)
