Answer

$\left\{3\right\}$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of logarithms, the given equation, $ \ln e^x=3 ,$ is equivalent to \begin{align*}\require{cancel} x\ln e&=3 &(\text{use }\log_b x^y=y\log_b x) \\ x(1)&=3 &(\text{use }\ln e=1) \\ x&=3 .\end{align*} Hence, the solution set of the equation $ \ln e^x=3 $ is $ \left\{3\right\} $.
