Question

2700=1350(1+(.09/1))^t
Find the value of t using a logarithmic function, please show work and explain

Answer 1

t=log((.09/1),1)

Answer 2

just simplify the equation and then use a calculator

Answer 3

How does the comma work?

Answer 4

Can you do it and tell me exactly what you typed in please?

Answer 5

(1.09)^t = 2

take log of both sides
log(1.09)^t = log (2)
log property allows you to take exponent and bring it in front of log

-> t*log(1.09) = log(2)
t = log(2)/log(1.09)

Answer 6

i just type \[\log_{a} b\] into my calc, it is the same as log(a,b)
