SOLUTION: Hi my question is how do I simplify: y = 2({{{x^lnx}}}) ? I took the ln of both sides and I tried bringing the lnx down by properties of log so I ended up with: lny = lnxln2x

Question 277178: Hi my question is how do I simplify: y = 2() ?
I took the ln of both sides and I tried bringing the lnx down by properties of log so I ended up with:
lny = lnxln2x
How do I simplify this?

If the problem is as you posted it, then there is nothing you can do to simplify it.

However, if the problem is actually:

then there is something we can do. And it helps if you understand what a logarithm represents. Logarithms are exponents. In general

represents the exponent for "a" which results in "b". With your equation,
ln(x)
represents the exponent for e which results in x. And where so we find ln(x)? Answer: As an exponent on e! So

by the very definition of logarithms! So your equation simplifies to:
y = 2x
