Take the logarithm of both sides. The base of the logarithm doesn't matter.
Drop the exponents:
Expand the right side:
Move the terms containing <em>x</em> to the left side and factor out <em>x</em> :
Solve for <em>x</em> by dividing boths ides by 5 log(4) - log(3) :
You can stop there, or continue simplifying the solution by using properties of logarithms:
You can condense the solution further using the change-of-base identity,
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the position function and need to find the value of t when h<17.
Create an inequality that represents this situation:
The "less than" sign makes this very specifically a conjunction problem as opposed to a disjunction. That's important to the solution. But we'll get there.
The simplest way to solve this is to subtract 81 from both sides:
then divide both sides by -16:
Notice now that the sign is facing the other way since we had to divide by a negative number. Now it's a disjunction. The solution set to this inequality is that t>2 or t<-2. First and foremost, time will never be negative, so we can disregard the -2. Even if that was t<2, the more time that goes by, the greater the time interval is, not the lesser. It's the "<" that doesn't make sense, not only the -2. The solution to this inequality is
t > 2 sec. That means that after 2 seconds, the height of the ball is less than 17 feet.
