$\ln (\frac{1}{2}) = 31 k$

Step 1

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

$31 k = \ln (\frac{1}{2})$

Step 2

Divide each term in $31 k = \ln (\frac{1}{2})$ by $31$ and simplify.

Step 2.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{31 k}{31} = \frac{\ln (\frac{1}{2})}{31}$

Step 2.2.1.2

Divide $k$ by $1$ .

$k = \frac{\ln (\frac{1}{2})}{31}$

Step 2.3

Step 2.3.1

Rewrite $\frac{\ln (\frac{1}{2})}{31}$ as $\frac{1}{31} \ln (\frac{1}{2})$ .

$k = \frac{1}{31} \ln (\frac{1}{2})$

Step 2.3.2

Simplify $\frac{1}{31} \ln (\frac{1}{2})$ by moving $\frac{1}{31}$ inside the logarithm.

$k = \ln ({(\frac{1}{2})}^{\frac{1}{31}})$

Step 2.3.3

Apply the product rule to $\frac{1}{2}$ .

$k = \ln (\frac{1^{\frac{1}{31}}}{2^{\frac{1}{31}}})$

Step 2.3.4

One to any power is one.

$k = \ln (\frac{1}{2^{\frac{1}{31}}})$

Step 3

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$k = \ln (\frac{1}{2^{\frac{1}{31}}})$

Decimal Form:

$k = - 0.02235958 \dots$
