Homework Statement
Solve for X in terms of Natural Logs;
Both my friend and I (top scores in the class) are struggling with this problem.
Homework Equations
e^ax=c*2^bx
The Attempt at a Solution
We both decided to divide both sides by 2^bx which gave us
e^ax / 2^bx = C
Then I flipped the 2^bx up to the top by making the ^-bx
Then I multiplied the 2 and the e and added the ^ax and ^-bx
thus resulting in
2e^ax-bx=c
Then divide both sides by two and natural log both sides
getting
ax-bx= ln(c/2)
Factor out a x and divide both sides by a-b
x= ln(c/2) / a-b
We both suspect our answers are wrong due to the multiplying of 2 and the e, other than that we have no idea how to get the right answer.
