Q. Consider the equation0.75⋅103w=30. Solve the equation for w. Express the solution as a logarithm in base10.w=Approximate the value of w. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.w≈
Write Equation, Isolate Exponential Term: Write down the given equation and isolate the exponential term.Given equation: 0.75×10w/3=30To isolate the exponential term, divide both sides by 0.75:10w/3=0.7530
Simplify Right Side: Simplify the right side of the equation.0.7530=40So, the equation becomes:103w=40
Apply Logarithm, Solve for w: Apply the logarithm to both sides of the equation to solve for w. We use the base 10 logarithm because our exponential base is 10. log(10w/3)=log(40)
Multiply by 3: Use the property of logarithms that log(ab)=b⋅log(a). 3w⋅log(10)=log(40) Since log(10) is 1, the equation simplifies to: 3w=log(40)
Calculate w: Multiply both sides by 3 to solve for w.w=3×log(40)
Round to Nearest Thousandth: Calculate the value of w using a calculator.w≈3×log(40)w≈3×1.60206 (using a calculator for log(40))w≈4.80618
Round to Nearest Thousandth: Calculate the value of w using a calculator.w≈3×log(40)w≈3×1.60206 (using a calculator for log(40))w≈4.80618Round the value of w to the nearest thousandth.w≈4.806
