Q. Consider the equation\newline0.5e4z=13 0.5 \cdot e^{4 z}=13 \text {. } \newlineSolve the equation for z z . Express the solution as a logarithm in basee.\newlinez= z= \newlineApproximate the value of z z . Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.\newlinez z \approx
  1. Isolate exponential term: Isolate the exponential term e4ze^{4z}.\newlineTo isolate e4ze^{4z}, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 0.50.5.\newline0.5e4z=130.5 \cdot e^{4z} = 13\newlinee4z=130.5e^{4z} = \frac{13}{0.5}\newlinee4z=26e^{4z} = 26
  2. Take natural logarithm: Take the natural logarithm of both sides.\newlineTo solve for zz, we take the natural logarithm (ln\ln) of both sides of the equation because the natural logarithm is the inverse function of the exponential function with base ee.\newlineln(e4z)=ln(26)\ln(e^{4z}) = \ln(26)
  3. Apply logarithm property: Apply the property of logarithms that ln(ex)=x\ln(e^x) = x.\newlineUsing this property, we can simplify the left side of the equation.\newline4z=ln(26)4z = \ln(26)
  4. Solve for z: Solve for z.\newlineTo solve for z, we divide both sides of the equation by 44.\newlinez=ln(26)4z = \frac{\ln(26)}{4}
  5. Approximate z: Approximate the value of z.\newlineUsing a calculator, we can find the approximate value of ln(26)\ln(26) and then divide by 44.\newlinezln(26)4z \approx \frac{\ln(26)}{4}\newlinez3.25814z \approx \frac{3.2581}{4}\newlinez0.8145z \approx 0.8145
