Q. Igbo uploaded a funny video of his cat onto a website.\newlineThe relationship between the elapsed time, d d , in days, since the video was first uploaded, and the total number of views, V(d) V(d) , that the video received is modeled by the following function.\newlineV(d)=101.5d V(d)=10^{1.5 d} \newlineHow many days will it take for the video to receive 1,000,000 1,000,000 views? Round your answer, if necessary, to the nearest hundredth.\newlinedays
  1. Identify function and target views: Identify the given function and the target number of views.\newlineThe function given is V(d)=10(1.5d)V(d) = 10^{(1.5d)}, which models the total number of views VV as a function of the number of days dd since the video was uploaded. We want to find the number of days it will take for the video to receive 1,000,0001,000,000 views.
  2. Set up equation for 11,000000,000000 views: Set up the equation to solve for the number of days dd when the video reaches 11,000000,000000 views.\newlineWe need to find the value of dd such that V(d)=1,000,000V(d) = 1,000,000. So we set up the equation:\newline1,000,000=10(1.5d)1,000,000 = 10^{(1.5d)}
  3. Solve equation using logarithms: Solve for dd by using logarithms.\newlineTo solve for dd, we can take the logarithm of both sides of the equation. We will use the common logarithm (base 1010) since the right side of the equation is a power of 1010.\newlinelog(1,000,000)=log(101.5d)\log(1,000,000) = \log(10^{1.5d})
  4. Apply properties of logarithms: Apply the properties of logarithms.\newlineUsing the property that log(ab)=blog(a)\log(a^b) = b \cdot \log(a), we can simplify the right side of the equation:\newlinelog(1,000,000)=1.5dlog(10)\log(1,000,000) = 1.5d \cdot \log(10)\newlineSince log(10)\log(10) is 11, the equation simplifies to:\newlinelog(1,000,000)=1.5d\log(1,000,000) = 1.5d
  5. Calculate logarithm of 11,000000,000000: Calculate the logarithm of 11,000000,000000.\newlineUsing a calculator, we find that log(1,000,000)=6\log(1,000,000) = 6 because 106=1,000,00010^6 = 1,000,000.\newlineSo the equation becomes:\newline6=1.5d6 = 1.5d
  6. Solve for d: Solve for d.\newlineTo find d, we divide both sides of the equation by 1.51.5:\newlined=61.5d = \frac{6}{1.5}\newlined=4d = 4
