Solving for n involving logarithm

34 Views Asked by At

I know how to solve if the left side is just lgn, but it has an extra n. Was it correct to multiply both sides by e?

That is not the correct way to do it. Indeed, checking your answer into the original line, it is obvious this is false. Instead, note the Lambert W function:

$$n\ln(n)=\ln(n)e^{\ln(n)}=10^6\ln(2)$$

$$\implies\ln(n)=W_0(10^6\ln(2))$$

$$\large n=e^{W_0(10^6\ln(2))}$$
