AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the value of the natural logarithm multiplied by two, specifically questioning what "twice the base of the natural logarithm" means. The base of the natural logarithm is identified as e, leading to the conclusion that the expression could be interpreted as 2e. Clarification is sought on the definition of the natural logarithm being used, as it affects the outcome. If the logarithm is defined in a specific way, the result could vary significantly. Ultimately, understanding the base is crucial for determining the correct value.

If you know what the base of the natural logarithm is, then just multiply by 2!

If you do NOT know what the base of the natural logarithm is, then what definition of "natural logarithm" are you using?
 
Acela, if it's supposed to rhyme with "chewy", then it's 2e. Otherwise it's 5.436563656918090470720574942705324995514.
 

Thread 'Family of lines that are at a distance of 5 from the origin'

I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
