solve the equation 1/2e=1/4

Sagot :

AL2006

   1/2 e = 1/4

Watch closely.  I'll try to go slow:

Multiply each side of the equation by 2 :

         e = 1/2

Were you able to follow that OK ?


Answer:

the value of e is, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equation:

[tex](\frac{1}{2})^e = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

we can write:

[tex]\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{2 \cdot 2}=\frac{1}{2^2} = (\frac{1}{2})^2[/tex]

⇒[tex](\frac{1}{2})^e = (\frac{1}{2})^2[/tex]         ....[1]

Using :

If [tex]a^m = a^n[/tex], then [tex]m = n[/tex]

then;

On comparing  both sides in [1] we have;

[tex]e = 2[/tex]

therefore, the value of e is, 2
