I am sorry I have confused you, the logs are all base e: ln(a) = 1347 ln(b) = 1351
And I am trying to solve this expression: exp( ln(a) ) - exp( ln(0.1) + ln(b) ) Thank you. 2013/2/4 francesca casalino <francy.casal...@gmail.com>: > Dear R experts, > > I have the logarithms of 2 values: > > log(a) = 1347 > log(b) = 1351 > > And I am trying to solve this expression: > > exp( ln(a) ) - exp( ln(0.1) + ln(b) ) > > But of course every time I try to exponentiate the log(a) or log(b) > values I get Inf.
