can anyone help me with solving problems with Exponential and Logarithmic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes where are the questions

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve this equation for x. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. 0.59 = log x

OpenStudy (amistre64):

assuming log is base 10

OpenStudy (amistre64):

10^.59 = x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 3.890

OpenStudy (amistre64):

that is correct... or so the calculator tells me :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 = In(x+4)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

e^6 = x+4 e^6 -4 = x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

399.427?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

thats correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now.. here is a type i'm stuck on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You invest $4200 in an account that pays an interest rate of 6.5%, compounded continuously. Calculate the balance of your account in 10 years. round your answer to the nearest hundredth

OpenStudy (amistre64):

to compound continuosly means we use pert for our answer.. 4200(e^(.065)(10))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

80452.680?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

8045.271 is what i get... but i have no 'e' button

OpenStudy (anonymous):

e generally equal 2.71828

OpenStudy (amistre64):

2.71828182845905.... :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

4200(e^.65)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for that i got 8045.268

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you got a choice of answers to go from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no. i have to type in an answer

OpenStudy (amistre64):

does the material you are working from give you an approximation for 'e' to use?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no but i searched it & was also told that almost every time e = 2.71828

OpenStudy (amistre64):

4200 * (e^.65) = 8045.27148 when i type it into google, the calc pops this out...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

id go with: 8045.27 or .28

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i went with .27

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nextt question: holly wants to save money for an emergency. holly invests $1200 in an account that pays an interest rate of 4%. how many years will it take for the account to reach $15,400? round your answer to the nearest hundredth

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

Remember to give amistre a medal if they helped you out!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

was already planning on doing that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4% interest is SIMPLE INTEREST or COMPOUND INTEREST???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i really don't know. it doesn't say. some have said compounded continuously. but this one doesn't

OpenStudy (amistre64):

they can also forget to give me a medal.... i got plenty to spare ;)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if its over a year, then compund interest is applied usually

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Using Simple Interest, the time comes out way too long, must be Compound interest

OpenStudy (amistre64):

savings accounts are usualy compounded yearly...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i do believe it is compounded

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pls check and reconfirm the numbers in the question. The given ones don't seem to b right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

those are correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The given numbers do not work for Compound interest So, for Simple interest, the answer is 295.83 years (Way too long!!??) This one beats me:( Anyone else take a shot at it??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'll post the question again as another question & see if anyone will answer it. i'm confused on these ones.
