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 part: First, let's isolate the exponential part by dividing both sides by 8.8×5(−t)/(9)=3465(−t)/(9)=346/85(−t)/(9)=43.25
Take logarithm with base 5: Now, we'll take the logarithm with base 5 of both sides to solve for t.log5(5(−9t))=log5(43.25)
Apply logarithm property: Using the property of logarithms, the exponent on the left side comes down in front. (9−t)⋅log5(5)=log5(43.25)
Simplify left side: Since log5(5) is 1, we can simplify the left side.−9t=log5(43.25)
Multiply both sides: Now, we multiply both sides by −9 to solve for t.t=−9×log5(43.25)
