Rearranging Help... Quite Hard!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Show: \[\frac{ -1 }{ k }\ln(80-kV) = t-\frac{ 1 }{ k }\ln80\] may be expressed as \[V=\frac{ 1 }{ k }(80-80e^{-kt})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have tried putting t as ln e^t and using the log laws but I'm getting the wrong answer...

OpenStudy (gorv):

add (1/k ln 80) on each side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah but how would we simplify that? \[\frac{ -1 }{ k } \ln(80−kV)+\frac{ 1 }{ k } \ln(80)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@gorv

OpenStudy (gorv):

=t on right side

OpenStudy (gorv):

now 1/k we can take common on left side

OpenStudy (gorv):

and using property of log log a - logb=log(a/b)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so\[\frac{ 1 }{ k }(\ln(80)-\ln(80-kV)) = \frac{ 1 }{ k }(\ln\frac{ 80 }{ 80-kV })\]

OpenStudy (gorv):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is equal to ln e^t on the other sides I presume?

OpenStudy (gorv):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ k }\ln \frac{ 80 }{ 80-kv }=t\]

OpenStudy (gorv):

no we will multiply by k on both side frist

OpenStudy (gorv):

\[\log_{a} b=c\] by using log property \[b=a^c\]

OpenStudy (gorv):

a= base of log

OpenStudy (gorv):

and base on ln = e

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you show me how to do that I'm not too sure 1/k (80/80-kv) = e^t ???

OpenStudy (gorv):

how u got e^t

OpenStudy (gorv):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ k }*\ln \frac{ 80 }{ 80-kv }=t\]

OpenStudy (gorv):

multiply k by both side

OpenStudy (gorv):

\[\ln \frac{ 80 }{ 80-kv }=kt\]

OpenStudy (gorv):

ln has base =e

OpenStudy (gorv):

\[\frac{ 80 }{ 80-kv }=e^{kt}\]

OpenStudy (gorv):

divide both side by e^kt

OpenStudy (gorv):

and multiply by 80-kv

OpenStudy (gorv):

\[\frac{ 80 }{ e^{kt} }=80-kv\]

OpenStudy (gorv):

\[80*e^{-kt}=80-kv\]

OpenStudy (gorv):

subtract 80 from both side

OpenStudy (gorv):

\[80e^{-kt}-80=-kv\]

OpenStudy (gorv):

divide both side by k

OpenStudy (gorv):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ k }(80e^{kt}-80)=-v\]

OpenStudy (gorv):

multiply by -1 on both side

OpenStudy (gorv):

\[\frac{ -1 }{ k }(80e^{-kt}-80)=v\]

OpenStudy (gorv):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ }(80-80e^{-kt})=v\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see now! Thanks gorv, so much rearranging...
