Step 1.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{5 \ln (x)}{5} = \frac{1}{5}$

Step 1.2.1.2

Divide $\ln (x)$ by $1$ .

$\ln (x) = \frac{1}{5}$

Step 2

To solve for $x$ , rewrite the equation using properties of logarithms.

$e^{\ln (x)} = e^{\frac{1}{5}}$

Step 3

Rewrite $\ln (x) = \frac{1}{5}$ in exponential form using the definition of a logarithm. If $x$ and $b$ are positive real numbers and $b \neq 1$ , then $\log_{b} (x) = y$ is equivalent to $b^{y} = x$ .

$e^{\frac{1}{5}} = x$

Step 4

Rewrite the equation as $x = e^{\frac{1}{5}}$ .

$x = e^{\frac{1}{5}}$

Step 5

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$x = e^{\frac{1}{5}}$

Decimal Form:

$x = 1.22140275 \dots$
