Question 62378: This says to use a calculator to find the value to four decimal places.
1n 0.005.
and then separately find y to four decimal places if possible.
log y = 0.926
I am absolutely clueless on these although I have reviewed it in the book. Can anyone help me out?

Evaluate, using a calculator:
ln%280.005%29 You must have a natural log function key on your calcuator to do this, of course.
ln%280.005%29+=+-5.2983
Find y to four decimal places:
log%28%28y%29%29+=+0.926 Rewrite this in exponential form:log%28%28y%29%29+=+x means 10%5Ex+=+y
10%5E%280.926%29+=+y
y+=+8.4333
