$0.79 = \ln (y)$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $\ln (y) = 0.79$ .

$\ln (y) = 0.79$

Step 2

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

$e^{\ln (y)} = e^{0.79}$

Step 3

Rewrite $\ln (y) = 0.79$ 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 $b^{y} = x$ .

$e^{0.79} = y$

Step 4

Rewrite the equation as $y = e^{0.79}$ .

$y = e^{0.79}$

Step 5

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$y = e^{0.79}$

Decimal Form:

$y = 2.20339642 \dots$
