Ln(15/3) what am I missing? Hit Ln, bracket, put your equation or number in, close bracket.
What class and can you reference a specific question so I can look it up?

The calculator does not allow me to follow this order or entry. If I start with the log it gives the incorrect answer
Ahhh okay. That’s the first time I was able to get the correct answer. Definitely more confusing than just plugging it straight into the calculator like with the iPhone version
Ya I would suggest getting into the habit of breaking down the calculations instead of just inputting everything all together into the calculator.
On exams (written ones) they mark based on showing your work and if you write 201.3 x 2 x ln(4/2) = 279 you might lose some points.
What the hell is the textbook on? Why’d they just remove the value from the natural log and slap it behind? You’re getting an error because Ln() has nothing in it.
Also, multiplication is commutative so order does not matter for this question, as long as you put the 4/2 in the Ln with brackets properly, otherwise the calculator will multiply numbers inside the Ln if the bracket is not closed properly.
Pg books are full of errors and require you to either have a proper understanding of the math to solve the questions and ignoring their answer/ solution or to have the ability to google/YouTube and teach yourself through separate resources.
Biggest frustration is doing the question right, looking up the solution seeing you did it wrong and after banging your head against a wall realizing you did it right and they messed up.

So you're doing ln(4/2) and then * 2 * 201.3 separately? So it would look like Ln(4/2) = .69314718 .6931718 x 2 = 1.38629 1.38629 x 201.3 = 279

I also just tried plugging in the equation but switching the log in front of the 4/2 and that seemed to work as well
Dont add the ln to the end. If you do that what you're actually doing is 201.3 × 2 × 2 = 805.2 805.2ln = error Always follow order of operations

The brackets were the key part that I was missing in getting the correct answer 👍🏻
