Please solve: e^x = 14.3

Question

(e^x is e^x

^btw)

Answer 1

Given: e^x = 14.3

Solve for x

SOLUTION:

e^x = 14.3

ln [e^x ] = ln [14.3 ]

x*ln(e) = ln(14.3)

x = ln(14.3)

x ~ 2.6603

Check:

e^x = 14.3

e^(2.6603) = 14.3

14.301 = 14.3 Close enough!

Answer 2

E^x=14.3 take natural log of both sides

ln (e^x)= ln 14.3

x=ln14.3= 2.66
