Solving a Natural Logarithmic Equation
Solve each equationln(3x+5)2=4
x+2
3
Rewrite in exponential form
Use a calculator e4
Take the square root of each side, use ±
Use a calculator
Solve for x.
(3x+5)2=e4
(3x+5)2≈54.6
3x+5≈7.39 3x+5≈-7.39
x≈0.797 or x≈-4.130

Solving an Exponential EquationEx. Use natural logs to solve the equations7e2x+2.5=207e2x=17.5e2x=2.52x=ln 2.5x=.458
Subtract 2.5 from both sidesdivide both sides by 7rewrite in log formDivide both sides by 2
