Hello!

We have the expression:

The first step is to write the number as a fraction, look:

Now, let's calculate the natural logarithm on both sides of the equation:

$\ln(e^x)=\ln\left(\right.(71)/(70))$

We can simplify it as:

$\begin{gathered} \cancel{\mathrm{ln}}(\cancel{e}^x)=\operatorname{\ln}((71)/(70)) \\ \\ x=\mathrm{ln}((71)/(70)) \end{gathered}$

Now, let's calculate it:

$\begin{gathered} x=\ln((71)/(70)) \\ \\ x\cong1.96 \end{gathered}$

Answer:

Alternative D. x = 1.96.
