Q. Solve for the exact value of x.6ln(4x+9)+4=−14Answer:
Isolate natural logarithm term: First, we need to isolate the natural logarithm term on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation.6ln(4x+9)+4−4=−14−46ln(4x+9)=−18
Divide by 6: Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 6 to solve for the natural logarithm of (4x+9).66ln(4x+9)=6−18ln(4x+9)=−3
Exponentiate to remove ln: Now, we will exponentiate both sides of the equation to remove the natural logarithm. We use the property that eln(x)=x.eln(4x+9)=e−34x+9=e−3
Subtract 9: We then subtract 9 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x.4x+9−9=e−3−94x=e−3−9
Divide by 4: Finally, we divide both sides by 4 to solve for x.44x=4e(−3)−9x=4e(−3)−9
