Click For Summary
The equation e^(-1) = c can be rewritten in logarithmic form as ln(e^(-1)) = ln(c), which simplifies to -1 = ln(c). The discussion highlights a misunderstanding of logarithms, questioning the source of the logarithm problems being posed. It emphasizes the equivalence between exponential and logarithmic forms, stating that if y = a^x, then log_a(y) = x. Understanding these concepts is crucial for solving logarithmic equations effectively. The conversation underscores the importance of grasping the fundamentals of logarithms for accurate problem-solving.

Rewrite in logarithmic form:

e^(-1) = c
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
$$\ln\left(e^{-1}\right)=\ln(c)$$

$$-1=\ln(c)$$
 
thanks
 
You have posted a number of logarithm problems without, apparently, know what a "logarithm" is! If you are not taking a class that involves logarithms, where are you getting these problems?

$y= a^x$ is equivalent to $log_a(y)= x$.
