Answer

(a) $x =\dfrac{1}{3}[ \ln (k)-1]$ (b) $x = \dfrac{c^2}{m}$

Work Step by Step

(a) Since \begin{align*} e^{3 x+1}&=k\\ \ln e^{3 x+1}&=\ln k\\ 3 x+1&=\ln k\\ 3x&= \ln (k)-1\\ x&=\frac{1}{3}[ \ln (k)-1] \end{align*} (b) Since \begin{align*} \log _{2}(m x)&=c\\ \frac{\ln (mx)}{\ln 2}&=c\\ \ln(mx) &= 2\ln c \\ mx &= e^{\ln c^2}\\ x&= \frac{c^2}{m} \end{align*}
