Q. Igbo uploaded a funny video of his cat onto a website.The relationship between the elapsed time, d, in days, since the video was first uploaded, and the total number of views, V(d), that the video received is modeled by the following function.V(d)=101.5dHow many days will it take for the video to receive 1,000,000 views? Round your answer, if necessary, to the nearest hundredth.days
Identify function and target views: Identify the given function and the target number of views.The function given is V(d)=10(1.5d), which models the total number of views V as a function of the number of days d since the video was uploaded. We want to find the number of days it will take for the video to receive 1,000,000 views.
Set up equation for 1,000,000 views: Set up the equation to solve for the number of days d when the video reaches 1,000,000 views.We need to find the value of d such that V(d)=1,000,000. So we set up the equation:1,000,000=10(1.5d)
Solve equation using logarithms: Solve for d by using logarithms.To solve for d, we can take the logarithm of both sides of the equation. We will use the common logarithm (base 10) since the right side of the equation is a power of 10.log(1,000,000)=log(101.5d)
Apply properties of logarithms: Apply the properties of logarithms.Using the property that log(ab)=b⋅log(a), we can simplify the right side of the equation:log(1,000,000)=1.5d⋅log(10)Since log(10) is 1, the equation simplifies to:log(1,000,000)=1.5d
Calculate logarithm of 1,000,000: Calculate the logarithm of 1,000,000.Using a calculator, we find that log(1,000,000)=6 because 106=1,000,000.So the equation becomes:6=1.5d
Solve for d: Solve for d.To find d, we divide both sides of the equation by 1.5:d=1.56d=4
