Solve for t using logarithms with base a

OpenStudy (zappy620):

\[\frac{ A-D }{ B }=a^Ct\]

OpenStudy (zappy620):

oh snap the t should also be an exponent

OpenStudy (zappy620):

\[\frac{ A-D }{ B }=a ^{ct}\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[\frac{ A-D }{ B }=a^{Ct}\] taking the log to base \(a\) on both sides \[\log_a\frac{ A-D }{ B }=\log_aa^{Ct}\] now use \(\boxed{\log_bb^n = n\log_bb = n}\)

OpenStudy (zappy620):

you take the log of both sides?

OpenStudy (zappy620):

so the right side would be ct?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yepp

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

Now, to solve for \(t\), divide by \(C\)

OpenStudy (zappy620):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ c }\log_{a} \frac{ A-D }{ B }=t\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

good work

OpenStudy (zappy620):

:D thank you so much
