I'm having trouble understanding the "e" in my math class. I am given the equation C=300eto the 0.2xpower. E is sub text of 300. I'm to solve for x. I'm xnot sure if I can replace e with log and then convert it to exponential form. Can someone please help me out? :confused:
Thank you!

divide through by 300, then use the rule

ln(e^x) = x
