Question

Solve for n
(1.0425)^4t=3

Answer 1

t=2.539902

Explanation:

(1.04254)(t)=3

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

1.181148t=3

Step 2: Divide both sides by 1.181148.

Answer 2

t = 6.60

Explanation:

(1.0425)^4t=3 (taking log on both sides)

log [ (1.0425)^4t ] = log (3) (bring power down by using log power rule)

4t log (1.0425) = log (3)

4t = log(3) / log (1.0425)

t = [ log(3) / log (1.0425) ] ÷ 4

t = 6.5988

t = 6.60 (nearest hundredth)
