Logging 12*e3c: Is ln(e) Cancelled Out?

Click For Summary
When taking the logarithm of 12*e^(3c), it is important to apply the logarithmic property that states log(ab) = log(a) + log(b). This means you should calculate it as ln(12) + ln(e^(3c)). Since ln(e) equals 1, the expression simplifies to ln(12) + 3c. Therefore, the initial assumption that ln(e) cancels out is correct, but the full calculation requires considering ln(12) as well. Understanding these logarithmic properties is essential for accurate calculations.

If you have to take the log of 12*e3c
Can I do it like this: 12*ln(e3c)?
So ln e fall away, so the result is: 12*3c = 36c
Or do I have to do it like this: ln(12*e3c?

I'm not sure of it.

Use the rule that log(ab)=log(a)+log(b) and I'm sure things should fall into place :smile:

No problem :smile:
 

Thread 'Area of Overlapping Squares'

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
