To solve the equation 10^(x) = 105, take the logarithm of both sides, resulting in x = log(105). For e^(x) = 100, the solution is x = ln(100). The equation 3^(2x) = 50 can be solved by taking the logarithm, yielding 2x = log(50) and thus x = 0.5 * log(50). For 0.5*e^(-x) = 0.2, rearranging gives e^(-x) = 0.4, leading to x = -ln(0.4). Lastly, ln x^(2) = 6 simplifies to x^2 = e^6, giving x = ±e^3.

Solve for x:

10^(x) = 105

e^(x) = 100

3^(2x) = 50

0.5*e^(-x) = 0.2

ln x^(2) = 6

5 ln 3x = 12

Let's start with the first one, $10^x=105$. Where are you having difficulty?
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
