## anonymous one year ago Solve this equation for x. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. 1= ln(x+8) Use the property z=a^logaZ

1. anonymous

applying that property, you know that: $$e^{\ln x} = x$$ .. for your question, change the bases into e on both sides, so it will look like this: $$\sf \large e^1= e^{ln(x+8)}$$ now simplify this using the property

2. anonymous

Im still confused...could you explain the process??

3. anonymous

if $$\ln(\text{whatever})=1$$ then $$\text{whatever}=e$$

4. anonymous

5. anonymous

Would it be 2??

6. owlet

What is e^1?

7. anonymous

I dont know what e^1 is

8. owlet

then using the rule, what is e^ln(x+8) simplify to? it is like z=a^log a z, a= e z= x+8 , therefore, e^ln(x+8) is equal to?

9. owlet

any number raised by one will be equal to the number itself., so e^1 =e

10. anonymous

I still dont understand how to find the answer.

11. owlet

simplify the equation first before you can find the value of x

12. anonymous

Ok
