Ln e ?????

Hi I have a question that :solve the differential eq
First tell what is differential eq  and also method
And other thing
If there is -x how we go to this step -xlne and second step is lne^-x       ln(c.e^-x)

Re: Ln e ?????

Hi;

Like a regular equation is a relationship between variables, a differential equation is a relationship between functions and their derivatives.

Ok but how this  If there is -x how we go to this step -xlne and second step is lne^-x       ln(c.e^-x)

That is a property of logarithms. 2log(10) = log(10^2).
Could you please clarify your last step? What is c.e^x????

Re: Ln e ?????

e^(ln(1)) = 1

Re: Ln e ?????

Here are some pairs of function and inverse function:

y = 2x and y = x/2

y = x^3 and y = x^(1/3)

y - e^x and  y = ln(x)

If you start with x = 1, apply any function, get a number, then apply the inverse function to that, you get back to 1.  That's what an inverse function does.  It takes you back to the number you started with.

Using the function grapher, if you plot y = e^x and also y = ln(x) you will see the two functions are inverses of each other.  Another way to test for inverse functions is to plot them both and draw in the line y=x.  If it is a line of symmetry between the two curves, then they are inverses of each other.

Or you could consider the properties of ln(x).  For any logarithmic function log(1) is always zero.  Now raise e to the power zero.  Any value raised to the power zero is always 1.  So we are back where we started.

Re: Ln e ?????

Hi Zeesan 01,

Log is nothing but the the power to which a fixed number (the base) must be raised to produce a given number. 

If

, then

. Now,

. How? Just convert               

into exponential form where you will get,

which is absolutely correct. So similarly, Ln is nothing but log to the base e. So
