Solution

It seems there might be a formatting issue with the equation. Based on the context, it looks like you want to solve the equation ex=2.984e^x = 2.984 and round the solution to four decimal places.

Let's solve it:

  1. Start with the equation:

ex=2.984e^x = 2.984

  1. Take the natural logarithm (ln) of both sides to solve for xx:

ln(ex)=ln(2.984)\ln(e^x) = \ln(2.984)

  1. Simplify the left side using the logarithm property ln(ex)=x\ln(e^x) = x:

x=ln(2.984)x = \ln(2.984)

  1. Calculate the natural logarithm:

xln(2.984)1.0932x \approx \ln(2.984) \approx 1.0932

So, the solution to the equation ex=2.984e^x = 2.984 is x1.0932x \approx 1.0932 when rounded to four decimal places.
