A study of urban density shows that the population density C (in persons /km2 ) is related to the distance a (in km ) from the city centre by logeC=logez−va+ta4, where z,v, and t are positive constants. Solve for C as a function of a.
Q. A study of urban density shows that the population density C (in persons /km2 ) is related to the distance a (in km ) from the city centre by logeC=logez−va+ta4, where z,v, and t are positive constants. Solve for C as a function of a.
Write Equation: Write down the given logarithmic equation.The given equation is loge(C)=loge(z)−va+ta4, where z, v, and t are positive constants.
Combine Terms: Use the properties of logarithms to combine the terms on the right side of the equation.Since loge(z)−va+ta4 is written as a single logarithm, we can combine the terms using the properties of logarithms. However, we notice that the terms va and ta4 are not inside a logarithm, which indicates a potential issue with the equation as it stands. We need to correct this before proceeding.
