The solution to the problem is as follows:

If you use Ln you can get rid of e. 

ln(e^0.4x) = ln(0.4) 

0.4x = ln(0.4) 

x = (ln(0.4))/0.4 

x = -2.29

Answer:

x = ( -2.29 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is [tex]e^{(0.4x)}=0.4[/tex]

We have to solve this equation for the value of x. We take natural log on both the sides of the equation.

[tex]ln(e)^{0.4x}=ln(0.4)[/tex]

0.4x ln(e) = ln (0.4)

0.4x = ln (0.4)  [ Since lne = 1 ]

0.4x = -0.9163

[tex]x=\frac{0.9163}{0.4}[/tex] = 2.29

Therefore, x = ( -2.29 ) is the answer.
