I would say FALSE.

Explanation:

Consider it:
e^(6lnx)=e6lnx=
let us focus our attention on the exponent. We can use the property of logs to write it as:
=e^(lnx^6)==elnx6=
now we use the definition of log and the fact that ee and lnln eliminate each other to give: x^6x6, or:
=cancel(e)^(cancel(ln)x^6)=x^6

False.

Explanation:

e^(6lnx)=x^6, not 6x, for the following reason.

Recall the following property of logs:
alnx=lnx^a

That means 6lnx is equivalent to:
lnx^6

But, since e^x and lnx are inverses, e^lnx=x. Likewise, e^(lnx^6)=x^6.

Note
Because e^(6lnx) isn't defined for x<=0 (meaning if you plugged in a negative number for x you would get "ERROR" on your calculator), its equivalent of x^6 is also not defined for x<=0. That means we have to limit the x values to 0 or positive numbers, so we write:
e^(6lnx)=x^6 for x>=0

x^6 ne 6x

Explanation:

e^(6lnx)=e^{log_e x^6}= x^6 ne 6x
