Question

Solve the logarithmic equation. When necessary, round answer to the nearest hundredth. ln x = 5

Answer 1

You raise it by e so
e^(ln x) = e^5
e^(ln x) = x
x = e^5

Answer 2

x= 148.41

Explanation:

Given logarithmic equation is

ln x= 5

To solve for x we convert it into exponential form

ln (a)= b then e^b =a

we use 'e' because ln has base 'e'

ln (x) = 5 can be written as e^5 = x in exponential form

x= e^5

Use calculator

x=148.41316

Round it to nearest hundredth

So x= 148.41
