convert to a logarithmic equation \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "e^-2=0.1352
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "Learn that the exponential equation \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"B%5EA=C\" \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "is equivalent to the logarithm equation \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"log%28B%2C%28C%29%29=A\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The logarithm = the exponent\r\n" );
document.write( "The base of the exponent is the base of the logarithm\r\n" );
document.write( " and \r\n" );
document.write( "The result of the exponential is what the log is taken of.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Using that rule:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"e%5E%28-2%29=0.1352\" becomes\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"log%28e%2C%280.1352%29%29=-2\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "But \"%22ln%22\" is short for \"log%28e%2C%22%22%29\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the final answer is:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"ln%280.1352%29=-2\"\r\n" );
