log equation- How do I do this?

Question

ln(x+2)=log10000
Solve the equation
I guess this is a natural log. How do you do this??

Answer 1

Note that log10000 is equal to 4. Therefore

ln(x+2) = 4

We can change this into exponential form:

e^4 = x + 2

Therefore, x = e^4 - 2

Answer 2

ln(x+2)=log 10,000
log 10,000 = 4

therefore:

ln(x+2) = 4

now converting the function into exponential function,

e^4 = x + 2

therefore

x = e^4 - 2
x = 0.71828182845904523536028747135266... (approximately)

that's it
