Q. Consider the equation 14⋅100.5w=100.Solve the equation for w. Express the solution as a logarithm in base- 10 .w=□Approximate the value of w. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.w≈□
Take Logarithm: Now, we will take the logarithm of both sides of the equation to remove the exponent on the left side. We will use the base−10 logarithm since we want to express the solution as a logarithm in base−10.log(100.5w)=log(7.14285714…)0.5w⋅log(10)=log(7.14285714…)Since log(10) is 1, this simplifies to:0.5w=log(7.14285714…)
Divide and Solve: Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.5 to solve for w.0.5w/0.5=log(7.14285714...)/0.5w=2×log(7.14285714...)
Calculate Approximate Value: Now we can use a calculator to find the approximate value of w. We will round the answer to the nearest thousandth.w≈2×log(7.14285714...)w≈2×0.853871964w≈1.707743928Rounded to the nearest thousandth:w≈1.708
