Multiple Choice

Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question.
Rewrite the equation in terms of base e. Express the answer in terms of a natural logarithm, and then round to three
decimal places.
- $$y = 13 ( 5.4 ) ^ { x }$$

A) $y = 13 \mathrm { e } ^ { \mathrm { x } \ln 5.4 } , \mathrm { y } = 13 \mathrm { e } ^ { 1.686 \mathrm { x } }$
B) $y = 5.4 \mathrm { e } ^ { \mathrm { x } } \ln 13 , \mathrm { y } = 5.4 \mathrm { e } ^ { 2.565 \mathrm { x } }$
C) $y = 13 \mathrm { e } ^ { 5.4 \mathrm { x } } , \mathrm { y } = 132.718 ^ { 1.686 \mathrm { x } }$
D) $\mathrm { y } = ( \ln 13 ) \mathrm { e } ^ { \mathrm { x } } \ln 5.4 , \mathrm { y } = 2.565 \mathrm { e } ^ { 1.686 \mathrm { x } }$
