y=e^x
how do i solve for x. i use the LN process right. i forgot how to do that
ln(e ^ x) = x
Leo, you have merely stated an identity.
David was solving y = e^x for x, which would be
x = ln y
Thanks reiny.
You're correct! To solve for x in the equation y = e^x, you can use the natural logarithm (ln) function.
Here's the step-by-step process:
1. Start with the equation y = e^x.
2. Take the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation: ln(y) = ln(e^x).
3. Remember that ln(e^x) simplifies to x by the logarithmic property.
4. Therefore, you're left with ln(y) = x.
So, the solution for x in the equation y = e^x is x = ln(y).
