$A n = {(- \frac{4}{n})}^{n - 1}$

Step 1

Since $n$ is on the right side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left side of the equation.

Take the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation to remove the variable from the exponent.

$\ln (e^{n \ln (- \frac{4}{n}) - \ln (- \frac{4}{n})}) = \ln (n A)$

Step 8.6.6.6.7.6.6.6.6.9.9.9.5.1

Expand $\ln (e^{n \ln (- \frac{4}{n}) - \ln (- \frac{4}{n})})$ by moving $n \ln (- \frac{4}{n}) - \ln (- \frac{4}{n})$ outside the logarithm.

$(n \ln (- \frac{4}{n}) - \ln (- \frac{4}{n})) \ln (e) = \ln (n A)$

Step 8.6.6.6.7.6.6.6.6.9.9.9.5.2

The natural logarithm of $e$ is $1$ .

$(n \ln (- \frac{4}{n}) - \ln (- \frac{4}{n})) \cdot 1 = \ln (n A)$

Step 8.6.6.6.7.6.6.6.6.9.9.9.5.3

Multiply $n \ln (- \frac{4}{n}) - \ln (- \frac{4}{n})$ by $1$ .

$n \ln (- \frac{4}{n}) - \ln (- \frac{4}{n}) = \ln (n A)$

Step 8.6.6.6.8.1

Expand $\ln (e^{n \ln (- \frac{4}{n}) - \ln (- \frac{4}{n})})$ by moving $n \ln (- \frac{4}{n}) - \ln (- \frac{4}{n})$ outside the logarithm.

$(n \ln (- \frac{4}{n}) - \ln (- \frac{4}{n})) \ln (e) = \ln (A n)$

Step 8.6.6.6.8.2

The natural logarithm of $e$ is $1$ .

$(n \ln (- \frac{4}{n}) - \ln (- \frac{4}{n})) \cdot 1 = \ln (A n)$

Step 8.6.6.6.8.3

Multiply $n \ln (- \frac{4}{n}) - \ln (- \frac{4}{n})$ by $1$ .

$n \ln (- \frac{4}{n}) - \ln (- \frac{4}{n}) = \ln (A n)$

Step 9

Expand $\ln ({(- \frac{4}{n})}^{n - 1})$ by moving $n - 1$ outside the logarithm.

$(n - 1) \ln (- \frac{4}{n}) = \ln (A n)$
