a^log[a](b) = b
log[a](a^b) = b
e^ln(3x) =
e^log[e](3x) =
3x
ln(e^(2x)) =
2x * ln(e) =
2x
(3x) * (2x) =
6x^2

Well you have to note that e^ln = ln(e)... they are the inverses of each other.
i.e. e^(ln(1)) = 1 and ln(e^1) = 1
so e^ln(3x)) becomes 3x
and ln(e^2x)) becomes 2x
so it simplifies to (3x)(2x) = 6x^2

e and ln are inverses of each other.
So raising e to the ln(#) just gives you the #
Similarly, taking the ln of e raised to some power (#) will also return the number
So e^ln(3x)=3x and ln(e^2x)=2x
Your answer is (2x)(3x)=6x^2

exp(ln(3x)) = 3x
ln(exp(2x)) = 2x
so the answer is 3x*2x = 6x^2

(e^ln(3x))(ln(e^2x)) = 3x(2x) = 6x^2
-----
Ideas: e^x and ln x are inverse pair.

You should consider that e^ln(f(x)) = f(x) and ln(e^(g(x))) = g(x)
