Given the exponential equation:

A student solved it.
Let's describe and correct the error the student made in solving the exponential equation.
Let's solve the equation.
Apply the following steps:
Step 1.
Divide both sides by 16

Step 2.
Take the natural logarithm of both sides

Where:
ln(e) = 1
Hence, we have:

The student did not convert to the logarithmic form correctly. The solution should be t = 1.812
