How can I type this into a calculator?

In a textbook I am asked to calculate an expression using a calculator: $$frac{1}{2}lnleft(e^{22}right)$$



I tried using:



0.5*log(exp**22)


This returned an error:



File "/base/data/home/apps/s~sympy-live-hrd/56.412575950366508090/sympy/sympy/core/decorators.py", line 91, in __sympifyit_wrapper return func(a, b) File "/base/data/home/apps/s~sympy-live-hrd/56.412575950366508090/sympy/sympy/core/decorators.py", line 132, in binary_op_wrapper return func(self, other) File "/base/data/home/apps/s~sympy-live-hrd/56.412575950366508090/sympy/sympy/core/expr.py", line 172, in __rpow__ return Pow(other, self) File "/base/data/home/apps/s~sympy-live-hrd/56.412575950366508090/sympy/sympy/core/cache.py", line 95, in wrapper retval = func(*args, **kwargs) File "/base/data/home/apps/s~sympy-live-hrd/56.412575950366508090/sympy/sympy/core/power.py", line 286, in __new__ obj = b._eval_power(e) TypeError: unbound method _eval_power() must be called with exp instance as first argument (got Integer instance instead)


I tried replacing $exp$ with just $e$ and received a similar error.



From my solutions page I can see that the answer is $11$. How can I type the expression in order to get $11$ back?

  • I believe it's $.5*log(exp(1)**22)$, but anyway you should ask these questions on a stack exchange more relevant to python errors.

Para el género de plantas, véase Musa (planta). Apolo y la Nueve Musas En la mitología griega, las musas (en griego antiguo μοῦσαι « mousai» ) son, según los escritores más antiguos, las divinidades inspiradoras de las Artes: cada una de ellas está relacionada con ramas artísticas y del conocimiento. Son hijas de Zeus y de Mnemósine, compañeras del séquito de Apolo, dios olímpico de la música y patrón de las bellas artes, quien tuvo romances con cada una de ellas, dejando descendientes. Bajaban a la tierra a susurrar ideas e inspirar a aquellos mortales que las invocaran. En la época más arcaica eran las ninfas inspiradoras de las fuentes, en las cuales eran adoradas. Finalmente, alrededor de los siglos VIII-VII a. C. [ 1 ] ​ prevaleció en todo el territorio de la Hélade la adoración de las nueve Musas, que son Calíope, Clío, Erato, Euterpe, Melpómene, Polimnia, Talía, Terpsícore y Urania. El culto a las musas era originalmente de Tracia y Beocia, y fueron de vital impo...
