$0.87 = \frac{\ln (2)}{h}$

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, $b = e$ , $x = 2$ , and $y = 0.87$ .

$b = e$

$x = 2$

$y = 0.87$

Step 2

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

$e^{0.87} = 2$
