algebra 2 help
which one you want to do first? the second is easiest
the second one
\[e^{-5x}+10=16\\ e^{-5x}=6\] is a start then write in equivalent logarithmic form as \[-5x=\ln(6)\] and finally \[x=-\frac{\ln(6)}{5}\]
really thats all for the second one? how do i do the first one?
yes, that is all let me open it again and look
\[\large 4^{2t}=5^{4t+4}\] right?
this is going to require one log step, then a raft of algebra much harder than the second one ready?
log step is to rewrite it as \[2t\ln(4)=(4t+4)\ln(5)\] then the algebra steps are to solve for \(t\)
realizing of course that \(\ln(4)\) and \(\ln(5)\) are just numbers (constants) you have \[2t\ln(4)=4t\ln(5)+4\ln(5)\] or \[2t\ln(4)-4t\ln(5)=4\ln(5)\] factor out the \(t\) and get \[t(2\ln(4)-4\ln(5))=4\ln(5)\] and finally divide to get \[t=\frac{4\ln(5)}{2\ln(4)-4\ln(5)}\] i guess you can cancel a 2 top and bottom and finish with \[t=\frac{2\ln(5)}{\ln(4)-2\ln(5)}\]
oh ok thank you so much!
