^{Exponential and Log Equations}

i) Find the exact solution to the equation ln x - ln(x-2) = 5.
ii) Use a calculator to find a 4 decimal approximation to the answer.

	Prepare the equation for the application of the inverse natural log function by making the left side into the natural log of a single expression (i.e. apply the second law of logarithms.)
Show work.	Apply the inverse natural log function to both sides.
