Given:

The function is:


f(x)=1822.8(1.4^x)

Find-:

Value of "x." when f(x) is 406500000000

Explanation-:

The value of "x" is:


\begin{gathered} f(x)=1822.8(1.4^x) \\ \\ f(x)=406500000000 \end{gathered}

The value of "x" is:


\begin{gathered} 1822.8(1.4)^x=406500000000 \\ \\ 1.4^x=(4065*10^8)/(1822.8) \\ \\ 1.4^x=2.23*10^8 \end{gathered}

Taking log both sides then,


\begin{gathered} \log_.1.4^x=\log_.2.23*10^8 \\ \\ x=(\log_.2.23*10^8)/(\log_.1.4) \\ \\ x=(8.348)/(0.146) \\ \\ x=57.13 \end{gathered}

The value of "x" is 57.13
