A. 0.05
B. 1.93
C. 3
D. 20.09

Respuesta :

the correct answer is D 20.09

Answer: D. 20.09


Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:- [tex]19+2\ln\ x=25[/tex]

To solve it for x, first subtract 19 from both sides of the given equation, we get

[tex]2\ln\ x=25-19\\\Rightarrow2\ln\ x=6[/tex]

Now, divide 2 from both the sides of the equation, we get

[tex]\ln\ x=3[/tex]

Taking exponents on both the sides, we get

[tex]e^{\ln\ x}=e^3[/tex]

We now that exponential function is inverse of logarithmic function.

[tex]\Rightarrow\ x=e^3\\\Rightarrow\ x=20.8553\approx20.09[/tex]
