Solution
The correct option is Be3 Let both sides be exponents of the base e. The equation ln(x4)+ln(x2)−ln(x3)−2=7 that is ln(x4)+ln(x2)−ln(x3)=9can be rewritten as eln(x4)+ln(x2)−ln(x3)=e9 or eln(x4∗x2/(x3))=e9 that is eln(x3)=e9.
By now you should know that when the base of the exponent and the base of the logarithm are the same, the left side can be written x. The equation eln(x3)=e2 can now be written as x3=e9 that is
