1. Convert to logarithmic function: e^3=0.0498
3. ln(-3)=0.0166 is my guess
3. ln(-3)=0.0166 is my guess
yes.shoook said:i divided 0.0498 by 3. that is totally wrong though.
then it would beshoook said:okay if the equation was e^-3=0.0498 would I just rewrite it as:
ln(e^-3)=ln(0.0498) ? Also, does ln remain on the right side as well as the left?
that's his 2nd questionDick said:Uh, you mean -3=ln(0.0498...), right?
lol sorry!Dick said:Well, ok, however you want to handle it. But seeing stuff like 3=ln(0.0498) makes me nervous.
A log function is a mathematical function that represents the inverse of an exponential function. It is used to solve equations involving exponential expressions.
Converting to a log function can make solving equations easier, especially when the equation involves exponential terms. It can also help to visualize and understand the behavior of exponential functions.
To convert an exponential function to a log function, use the properties of logarithms to rewrite the equation in the form of logb(x) = y, where b is the base of the logarithm.
The properties of logarithms include the product rule, quotient rule, power rule, and change of base rule. These properties allow us to manipulate logarithmic equations and simplify them for easier solving.
Log functions are commonly used in science to represent data that spans a wide range of values, such as pH levels, earthquake magnitudes, and sound intensity. They are also used in chemistry to calculate concentrations and in biology to measure growth rates.
