Question

Solve the equation 1/2e=1/4

Answer 1

1/2 e = 1/4

Watch closely. I'll try to go slow:

Multiply each side of the equation by 2 :

e = 1/2

Were you able to follow that OK ?

Answer 2

the value of e is, 2

Explanation:

Solve the equation:

`((1)/(2))^e = (1)/(4)`

we can write:

`(1)/(4) = (1)/(2 \cdot 2)=(1)/(2^2) = ((1)/(2))^2`

⇒
`((1)/(2))^e = ((1)/(2))^2` ....[1]

Using :

If
`a^m = a^n`, then
`m = n`

then;

On comparing both sides in [1] we have;

`e = 2`

therefore, the value of e is, 2
