Answer:
It doesn't. x = 22 271 201
Step-by-step explanation:
You are going to need a calculator no matter how you do it.
[tex]x =19 169 000 \times e^{0.15}[/tex]
(a) The direct method
[tex]x = 19 169 000\times 2.718 281 828^{0.15} = 19 169 000 \times 1.161 834 243 = 22 271 201[/tex]
(b) The indirect method
[tex]\ln \left (19 169 000\times 2.718 281 828^{0.15} \right ) = \ln(19 169 000) + 0.15 = 16.768 805 + 0.15 = 16.918 804\\\\e^{16.918 804} = 22 271 201[/tex]
