Answer:

x = i π n + log(20)/2 for n element Z

Explanation:

Solve for x:

500 = 25 e^(2 x)

500 = 25 e^(2 x) is equivalent to 25 e^(2 x) = 500:

25 e^(2 x) = 500

Divide both sides by 25:

e^(2 x) = 20

Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

2 x = 2 i π n + log(20) for n element Z

Divide both sides by 2:

Answer: x = i π n + log(20)/2 for n element Z
