Solve each equation.

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Start by isolating the exponential term. Divide both sides of the equation by 6 to get: \( e^{4k} = \frac{48}{6} \).
Simplify the right side of the equation: \( e^{4k} = 8 \).
To solve for \( k \), take the natural logarithm of both sides: \( \ln(e^{4k}) = \ln(8) \).
Use the property of logarithms that \( \ln(e^x) = x \) to simplify the left side: \( 4k = \ln(8) \).
Finally, solve for \( k \) by dividing both sides by 4: \( k = \frac{\ln(8)}{4} \).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Exponential Functions

Exponential functions are mathematical expressions in the form of f(x) = a * e^(bx), where 'e' is the base of natural logarithms, approximately equal to 2.71828. These functions model growth or decay processes and are characterized by their rapid increase or decrease. Understanding how to manipulate and solve equations involving exponential functions is crucial for solving problems like the one presented.

Logarithms

Logarithms are the inverse operations of exponentiation, allowing us to solve for the exponent in equations of the form a^x = b. The natural logarithm, denoted as ln, specifically deals with the base 'e'. In the context of the given equation, applying logarithms helps isolate the variable 'k' by transforming the exponential equation into a linear form, making it easier to solve.
