Answer:
Below in bold.
Explanation:
0.3. e^3x = 27
Taking logs of both sides:
ln (0.3. e^3x) = ln 27
ln (0.3) + ln e^3x = ln 27
ln e^3x = ln 27 - ln(0.3)
3x = ln 27 - ln 0.3
3x = ln(27/0.3) = ln 90
x = 1/3 ln 90
x = ln (90^1/3)
Approximate value of x:
= 1.499936557
= 1.500 to the nearest thousandth.
