Linear Function of x: Simplifying ln(y) with 6.3 and 1.5 coefficients

[enkrypt0r]

Hey guys, I'm absolutely stuck on how to do this. I really don't even know where to begin. A push in the right direction would be great! Here's the problem:

Let y=(6.3)(1.5)^x. Write ln(y) as a linear function of x.

I came up with this, bu I don't think it's right:

ln(y)= x ln(1.5) + ln(6.3)

Is that what they're looking for? Or am I way off?

Yes, that looks good. You can see that ln(y) is a linear function of x, because x appears only raised to the first power.

Great, thanks for the confirmation!
