is [math]e^{2 \ln{|x|}} = |x^2|[/math] or [math]x^2[/math]?
Does e^{2 \ln{|x|}} = |x^2| or x^2?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The expression e^{2 \ln{|x|}} is equivalent to |x^2| and x^2. This is established by recognizing that the exponential function and logarithm are inverse operations, and squaring any real number results in a non-negative value. Therefore, both forms represent the same mathematical quantity for all real x.
