Question

1.8788^(1/2t) = 1.019
Can someone explain the steps involved?

Answer 1

take the log of each side
1.8788^(1/2t) = 1.019

log[1.8788^(1/2t)] = log(1.019)
(1/2)t*log(1.8788) = log(1.019)

t = 2*log(1.019)/log(1.8788)

use a calculator to evalute t

Answer 2

what are you still confused about?

Answer 3

I never learned how to dog log...I don't even know what it is...

Answer 4

This is actually a Compound Interest Equation from Advanced Algebra with Financial Applications. Sorry I was AFK for a moment.

Answer 5

A = P(1+r/n)^(nt)
9,000 = 4,790.23(1+0.038/2)^(2t)
Solve for t

Answer 6

uh, I'm not sure how to explain logs in a simple way ;_;
