log was used calculate big numbers before calculators
log is a re-arranged way to show a number with an exponent
example
log₂ 16 = 4 means 2^4 = 16
logx(Z) = y means x^y=Z
log(x-6)/log(2) + log(x)/log(2) = 4
(log(x-6)+ log(x))/log(2) = 4
(log(x-6)+ log(x)) = 4log(2)
(log(x-6)x) = log(16)
x=8
Answer:
A = 236,000 (1.04)^t
population in 2009 : 335,902 people
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to apply an exponential growth function:
A = P (1 + r) t
Where:
p = original population
r = growing rate (decimal form) = 4/100 = 0.04
t= years passed from 2000
A = population after t years
Replacing with the values given:
A = 236,000 (1+ 0.04)^t
A = 236,000 (1.04)^t
Population in 2009.
t = 2009-2000 = 9
A = 236,000 (1.04)^9
A = 335,902 people

Answer:
F = $11,421.90
Final value after 5 years F = $11,421.90
Complete question;
You purchased a vehicle for $32,000. It's value will depreciate at a rate of 18.62%. What will it's value be in 5 years, when you finally have it paid off
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Initial value P = $32,000
Depreciation rate r = 18.62% = 0.1862
Time t = 5
Final value = F
Using the compound depreciation formula;
F = P(1 - r)^t
Substituting the values;
F = $32,000(1 - 0.1862)^5
F = $11,421.90
Final value F = $11,421.90
