$y = \frac{x^{4} - e^{x}}{\ln (x)}$

Step 1

For logarithmic equations, $\log_{b} (x) = y$ is equivalent to $b^{y} = x$ such that $x > 0$ , $b > 0$ , and $b \neq 1$ . In this case, $b = e$ , $x = x$ , and $y = y$ .

$b = e$

$x = x$

$y = y$

Step 2

Substitute the values of $b$ , $x$ , and $y$ into the equation $b^{y} = x$ .

$e^{y} = x$
