Exponential Equations (2 Viewers)

Well, if you take it this way, ln of anything is always a value that is fixed, so whatever x is fixed at, ln is fixed. So in that line of working, Im basically saying that:

2 of the LHS = 1 of the RHS

Therefore 1 of the LHS = 0.5 of the RHS. Because its an equation and balance needs to be retained

I myself am a tiny bit unsure about that method, but my brain tells me its ok to do that. Or is that way just simply mathematically incorrect?

Yea I'm still not following...

You can't say that half of logx is equal to half of x, just doesn't work! If you exponentiate both sides you'll get





If my maths has served me correctly.

Yeah, sorry about that, just a huge derp moment there. I was just trying to twist the numbers a bit, but as you can see I failed massively heh

Haha don't feel discouraged =). I've made some pretty stupid mistakes in my time, only to be epically flamed on forums LOL

There is no elementary way of finding a closed-form solution.
