Which logarithmic equation is equivalent to the exponential equation below? e^4x = 5 (the x is part of the ^4 exponent) A. log 5 = 4x B. ln 4x = 5 C. ln 5 = 4x D. log 4x = 5

Respuesta :

keep in mind that "ln" is just a shortcut for the logarithm with a base of "e".

[tex]\bf \textit{exponential form of a logarithm}\\\\ log_{{ a}}{{ ( b)}}=y \implies {{ a}}^y={{ b}}\qquad\qquad % exponential notation 2nd form {{ a}}^y={{ b}}\implies log_{{ a}}{{(b)}}=y \\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ e^{4x}=5\implies log_e(5)=4x\implies ln(5)=4x[/tex]

Answer:

C) ln 5 = 4x is correct option .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : [tex]e^{4x}[/tex] = 5

To find : Which logarithmic equation is equivalent to the exponential equation

Solution : We have given that [tex]e^{4x}[/tex] = 5.

By the exponential form of logarithm:

[tex]b^{a}[/tex] = c then logarithm form is [tex]log_{b} (c)[/tex]= a.

Then , [tex]e^{4x}[/tex] = 5  logarithm form is [tex]log_{e} (5)[/tex]= 4x.

Here, [tex]log_{e}[/tex] = ln

So, ln 5 = 4x.

Therefore , C) ln 5 = 4x is correct option .
