Doesn't matter since both multiplication and division are...commutative? Don't remember the terminology but (10x2)/4 == 10x(2/4) == 5

- rat9988 6y agoIt matters here because he is using ln, and we don't know if we should stop at the first right parenthesis or the second. The word you are looking for is associative.
- CydeWeys 6y agoOoof, thanks for that. I didn't realize that was the natural log function because of the space. My brain was parsing it as the word "In" and essentially ignoring it.
- pbhjpbhj 6y agoThere shouldn't be a space IMO, reading it out of context I couldn't see what the issue was either as I too was not parsing the ln as log_e. ln x or ln(x) but not ln (x)
