Answer

$a.\qquad \sqrt{3}$ $b.\qquad 4$ $c.\qquad 13$

Work Step by Step

By definition, $\log_{a}x=y \Leftrightarrow a^{y}=x$ ($\log_{a}x$ is the exponent to which the base $a$ must be raised to give $x$.) --- What follows from the definition is that $\log_{a}(a^{x})=x$ and $a^{\log_{a}(x)}=x$ "ln" is special annotation for the natural logarithm, $\log_{e}$ (with base e). "log" (without a base) stands for $\log_{10}$, the common logarithm. a. $e^{\ln\sqrt{3}}=e^{\log_{e}(\sqrt{3})}=\sqrt{3}$ b. $\ln e^{4}=\log_{e}e^{4}=4$ c. $10^{\log 13}=10^{\log_{10}(13)}=13$
