Help t-t function g(x) = 200(1.03)2x. Demonstrate the steps to convert g(x) into an equivalent function with only x as the exponent

OpenStudy (naga447):

I will give a medal to first person who helps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooh oooh i know!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\((1.03)^{2x}=[(1.03)^2]^x\) your job is to find \((1.03)^2\)with a calculator and use that as the base instead of \(1.03\)

OpenStudy (naga447):

So I should just take \[1.03^x \] and minus it from both sides?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i guess my answer is not clear let me try again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

although i really don't know another way to put it compute \((1.03)^2\) and use that as the base

OpenStudy (naga447):

Oh I think that I understand I take [(1.03)^2) and simplify it 1.0609 then use that as the base. Sorry I didn't get it at first :]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that is it you should get \[g(x)=2000(1.0609)^x\] what you are using is a law of exponents that says \[(b^n)^m=b^{mn}\] but going from the right \[(1.03)^{2x}\] to the left \[((1.03)^2)^x\]

OpenStudy (naga447):

Okay thank you!!! Do you think you could help me with the second part of the question?

OpenStudy (naga447):

never mind Thanks again!
