8⋅59−t=346Which of the following is the solution of the equation?Choose 1 answer:(A) t=9log5(43.25)(B) t=−9log40(346)(C) t=−9log5(43.25)(D) t=9log346(40)
Q. 8⋅59−t=346Which of the following is the solution of the equation?Choose 1 answer:(A) t=9log5(43.25)(B) t=−9log40(346)(C) t=−9log5(43.25)(D) t=9log346(40)
Isolate exponential term: Isolate the exponential term.To solve for t, we first need to isolate the term with the variable t in the exponent. We do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 8.8×5(−t)/9=346(8×5(−t)/9)/8=346/85(−t)/9=43.25
Apply logarithm: Apply the logarithm to both sides of the equation.To solve for the exponent, we can apply the logarithm with base 5 to both sides of the equation. This will allow us to remove the exponent on the left side.log5(5(−t)/9)=log5(43.25)
Use property of logarithms: Use the property of logarithms that logb(bx)=x. By applying this property, we can simplify the left side of the equation to just the exponent. 9−t=log5(43.25)
Solve for t: Solve for t.To solve for t, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by -9").\(\newline\$\frac{-t}{9} \times (-9) = \log_5(43.25) \times (-9)\)\(\newline\)\(t = -9 \times \log_5(43.25)\)
