ln e^2=2.
If you will please also write in detail (or as much as possible), how you derived your answer, that would be great. This question is from textbook College Algebra

Remember ln%28x%29=log%28e%2C%28x%29%29 So ln%28e%5E2%29=log%28e%2C%28e%5E2%29%29


log%28e%2C%28e%5E2%29%29=2 Start with the given equation.


e%5E2=e%5E2 Rewrite the equation using the property: log%28b%2C%28x%29%29=y ====> b%5Ey=x. Basically you're taking the base "e" and raising that to the number that is on the right side. So the equation is now in exponential form.
