OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

I got 335.

OpenStudy (princeharryyy):

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Sure.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

P(t)= 52.2e^-0.0118t 1= 52.2e^-0.0118t 1/52.2 = e^-0.0118t Ln( 1/52.2)= -0.0118t t= 335.1764826 t=335

OpenStudy (princeharryyy):

u should put 3 in place of p(t) in stead of 1, and I got r to be equal to 0.0176 nearly equal to yours

OpenStudy (princeharryyy):

0.01176*

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Oh my gosh! I see now.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

I was following an example and it says 1 million and mine says 3 million.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Now im getting 242

OpenStudy (princeharryyy):

yeah, but you approached the problem correctly, it wud be around 163 or 164

OpenStudy (princeharryyy):

what base of log are you using*

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Are you asking about Ln?

OpenStudy (princeharryyy):

yes... Is it ln or Log that you are using

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Ln

OpenStudy (princeharryyy):

OpenStudy (princeharryyy):

It's correct. @Destinyyyy

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Yes I know. I already got it wrong. I was asking for clarification. Sometimes Pearson is incorrect. And you forgot the - sign.

OpenStudy (princeharryyy):

no I didn't I divided it by 0.01176 instead of -0.01176 so, it came out to be -242.89 in stead of 242.89. but it is +ve, u r right
