Q. 10⋅345t=800What is the solution of the equation?Round your answer, if necessary, to the nearest thousandth.t≈
Isolate exponential term: Isolate the exponential term.We start by dividing both sides of the equation by 10 to isolate the exponential term on one side.10⋅3(5t)/4=8003(5t)/4=108003(5t)/4=80
Apply logarithm: Apply the logarithm to both sides.To solve for t, we take the natural logarithm (ln) of both sides of the equation.ln(3(45t))=ln(80)
Use power property of logarithms: Use the power property of logarithms.The power property of logarithms states that ln(ab)=b⋅ln(a). We apply this property to simplify the left side of the equation.45t⋅ln(3)=ln(80)
Isolate t: Isolate t.To solve for t, we multiply both sides of the equation by 54 and divide by ln(3).t=5⋅ln(3)4⋅ln(80)
Calculate value of t: Calculate the value of t.Now we use a calculator to find the numerical value of t.t=5⋅ln(3)4⋅ln(80)t≈5⋅1.098612288674⋅4.38202663467t≈5.4930614433517.52810653868t≈3.19153829085
Round answer: Round the answer to the nearest thousandth. t≈3.192
