Question 207687
Can you please help me solve this problem: 4e^2x=12. What I've done so far is add natural log to both sides. ln^4e*2x= ln12. After this I am not sure what to do
 next.
:
Do this first:
{{{4*e^(2x)}}} = 12
Divide both sides by 4:
{{{e^(2x)}}} = {{{12/4}}}
{{{e^(2x)}}} = 3
then
2x*ln(e) = ln(3)
:
The natural log of e is one so it's just
2x = ln(3)
:
2x = 1.0986
x = {{{1.0986/2}}}
x = .5493

Check solution on a good calc: enter: 4*e^(2*.5493) should get 11.9998 ~ 12
