Question 687634: Im working a problem that is not coming out as an answer that my book has listed an an option to choose from.
Show the solution for 2^3x = 5 in terms of natural logorithms.
When I do this problem I get:
ln5
----
3ln2
In my list of choices I have the opposite:
3ln2
----
ln5
Not sure if I should choose that, or if the format matters in a problem like this, can someone explain?
