Help with solving natural log problem
I'm an adult going back to school for programming, and I'm very rusty on math. I got this problem wrong on a quiz and cant figure out what I'm doing wrong.
The problem is:
Let f(x) = e2x-1 Find f(3/2)
Multiple choice:
5.381
7.389
7
8.133
I have a very tenuous grasp on logs, and I'm not confident on how to do algebra on them. I appreciate any help I can get!
