Question

6500=5000(1.042)^x

Answer 1

Find x?

Answer 2

yea

Answer 3

Use a logarithm.

Answer 4

i got it to 13=10(1.042)^x

Answer 5

Is it \(13 = 10 * 1.024^x\) ?

Answer 6

yea

Answer 7

i just dont remember how to solve for variables as exponents

Answer 8

Do you know about logarithms?

Answer 9

its been a long summer maybe

Answer 10

First, you must isolate \(1.024^x\)

Answer 11

\[6500=5000(1.042)^x\]
\[\frac{6500}{5000}=1.042^x\]
\[1.3=1.042^x\]
\[log_{10}(1.3)=x*log_{10}(1.042)\]
\[\frac{log_{10}(1.3)}{log_{10}(1.042)}=x\]
\[x \dot{=}6.377\]

Answer 12

Then, when you have \(1.024^x = y\), you do this to find \(x\):
\[x = \log_{1.024}(y)\]

Answer 13

@KeithAfasCalcLover , you're not supposed to just give away the answer.

Answer 14

i just needed to see it
