Hi,
use your calculator to solve for x. round your answers to the nearest thousandth."
x = 10^2.3 ||careful, always 'try' to visualize or 'estimate' answer 
10^2.3 = 199.526
ln 9 = 2.197, Yes. Good work
log(15) = 1.176, Yes. Good work
e^(-1.5) = 1/e^1.5 = 1/4.482 = .223 || 1/e^1 = 1/(2.718) = .368 , for ex
