You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Simplify
e^(ln (0.2))
----
You have to understand that ln(0.2) is "the
power of e that gives you 0.2"
-----
You are asked to raise "e" to that power.
--
The results is e^(ln(0.2)) = 0.2
===================================
The problem is similar to "What is the color of a red coat?"
The answer is "red".
