Solve e^(x) = 5

e^{x} = 5

Step by step

  1. e^{x} = 5

    Start from the equation as given.

  2. e^{x} - 5 = 0

    Bring everything to one side.

  3. e^{x} - 5 = 0

    Isolate the exponential, then take a logarithm of both sides.

  4. x = \log{\left(5 \right)} \approx 1.6094

    Solve for the variable.
