If e to the power x equals 0.4634 find x?

Answer 1

the natural log, ln, is the inverse of the exponential.

so you can take the natural log of both sides of the equation and you get...

ln(e^(x))=ln(.4634)

ln(e^(x))=x because ln and e are inverses

so we are left with x = ln(.4634)

x = -0.769165
