i don't understand how to simplify a lot of stuff like

e^ln3

e^3lnx

e^(1+lnx)

please i dont want just the answers i want explanations

  1. Here is the trick:

    e^(ln[x]) = x

    Thats right, the exponetial fuction cancels the natural logarithm and vice versa, i suppose you could say that they are the opposite of each other?

    Anyway for example

    e^(ln[3]) = 3

    Now the second one involves the previous rule as well as this one:

    e^(2a) = e^[a]^2

    So..

    e^(3ln[x])

    = e^(ln[x])^3

    = x^3

    Now the third one involves the first rule as well as this one:

    e^(a) * e^(b) = e^(a+b)

    Therefore:

    e^(1 + ln[x])

    = e^(1) * e^(ln[x])

    = e^(1) * x

    =xe^(1)

    This last one gives a definite answer of around 27

    Hope this helps!


  2. y = e^(ln3)

    ln y = (ln 3) ln e

    ln y = ln 3

    y = 3

    e^(ln 3) = 3

    y = e^(3 ln x)

    ln y = (3 ln x) ln e

    ln y = 3 ln x

    ln y = ln x³

    y = x³

    e^(3 ln x) = x³

    ( e ) e^(ln x)

    e x

  3. e^ neutralizes ln so e^ln(3) = 3 (take whatever in the parantheses)

    e^3lnx can be rewritten to e^ln(x^3) - this is a logarithm rule (see link) after rewriting you can do the same as number one. answer is x^3 (the number between the parantheses)

    e^(1+lnx) can be rewritten to e^1 . e^lnx (logarithm rule) = e^1 . x  (. = multiplied by)

  4. e ^ ln 3 =e ^ 1.1098612289=3

    the other two you must know the value of x
