Question about finding the exact value using powers of natural number e?
"Compute the exact value of 32^(1/ln(2)) as a power of the natural number e without a calculator, showing all steps."
I'm not really sure what this is asking. I was thinking I would take the natural log or raise e to each side, but it's not an equation, it's just a value. What properties of logs can I use for this?
Thanks. :)

It's asking for the answer in the form of e^P. You just have to find the expression for P
First look at 32:
32 = e^ln(32) -- basic defn of ln
= e^ln(2^5) -- alternate form of 32
= e^(5ln(2)) -- property of ln
now raise this to the 1/ln(2) power
(e^5(ln(2))^(1/ln(2)) = e^(5 ln(2) / ln(2)) -- property of exponents that (a^b)^c = a^(bc)
= e^5 -- simplifying the expression for the exponent.

a million. 5/4 answer: 3^(log base 3 of five/4). word: a^b = e^(b*lna). it extremely is genuine for all complicated numbers a & b. Then 3^(log base 3 of five/4) = e^{ (log base 3 of five/4)*(ln3) } Now replace the backside in log base 3: = e^{ (ln5/4)/ln3 * (ln3) } = e^(ln5/4) = 5/4. an comparable technique could be used for the 2nd decision. d:

ln[32^(1/ln(2))] = (1/ln(2))*ln(32)
ln(32) = ln(2^5) = 5*ln(2)
ln[32^(1/ln(2))] = (1/ln(2))*5*ln(2) = 5
32^(1/ln(2)) = e^5 <<<
