Question

Evaluate the expression. If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth.

e^In5

A) ln 5
B) e5
C) 5

Answer 1

Using:

`{e}^( ln(x) ) = x`
Substituting x= 5 from given question, we get answer:

C) 5

Answer 2

`e^(\ln5)=5`

C is the correct option.

Explanation:

We have to find the value of the expression
`e^(\ln5)`

We can find this value by using the below mentioned exponent rule:-

`e^(\ln x)=x`

On comparing the left hand side of this formula with the given expression, we can see that x is substituted by 5.

Therefore, from the formula, we have

`e^(\ln5)\\\\=5`

C is the correct option.
