Question

A = Pe^rt
870 = Pe^(0.05)(3)
How can I solve for P in this equation?

Answer 1

Well, do you want an exact value, or approximation?

Answer 2

not looking for exact

Answer 3

First of all, you can simplify it to \[
870=Pe^{0.15}
\]

Answer 4

Then divide both sides by \(e^{0.15}\) to get: \[
P = \frac{870}{e^{0.15}}
\]

Answer 5

thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for :D

Answer 6

This evaluates approximately to \[
P \approx 748.816
\]
