Solution
Solution Steps
To solve these equations, we need to use logarithms and square roots. Here are the high-level ideas for each part:
a. To solve \( c^2 = 198 \), we take the square root of both sides.
b. To solve \( e^2 = 198 \), we take the natural logarithm of both sides.
c. To solve \( e^x = 331 \), we take the natural logarithm of both sides.
Step 1: Solving \( c^2 = 198 \)
To solve \( c^2 = 198 \), we take the square root of both sides:
\[ c = \sqrt{198} \]
The numerical value is approximately:
\[ c \approx 14.0712 \]
Step 2: Solving \( e^2 = 198 \)
To solve \( e^2 = 198 \), we take the natural logarithm of both sides:
\[ 2 = \ln(198) \]
The numerical value is approximately:
\[ 2 \approx 5.2883 \]
Step 3: Solving \( e^x = 331 \)
To solve \( e^x = 331 \), we take the natural logarithm of both sides:
\[ x = \ln(331) \]
The numerical value is approximately:
\[ x \approx 5.8021 \]
