I have to solve the following equation using logs: "ex = pi". I then get "x = log pi/In e" but "In e = 1" so I end up with "x = log pi" = 0.497". The answer given is 1.145. Where am I going wrong?
x = Ln(π) / Ln(e)
Yes but how do I get to the answer that I'm given, "1.145"?
Your error goes all the way back to the beginning.I see. Does that mean that I should not use "log pi" in this case, I should be using "Ln pi"? You must be right because "Ln pi" comes up with right answer.
Oh my goodnessI'm having second thoughts about your "simple correct way" of solving this. How do you calculate "xloge(e) = 1.145?
No. The dimwit is the one who does not ask a question when something is unclear.OK.
