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?
\[\frac{ -1 }{ k } \ln(80−kV)+\frac{ 1 }{ k } \ln(80)\]

=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

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

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

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