You sometimes need to rewrite a factor because the lead number is not between 1 and 10 as it needs to be in scientific notation. For instance, if we had lead numbers of 2 and 5, as we do in the following problem.
2x10^3 * 5x10^9
Then we get the answer of 10x10^12. We need to adjust this by moving the decimal place and increasing the exponent by 1. The correct answer would be 1x10^13 instead.
I believe the zeros are the x intercept. which makes the answer, 1 & 3.
Answer:
At 25 = 6.8612mm
At 50 years = 5.422mm
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation,
d = 2.115Logₑa + 13.669
d = diameter of the pupil
a = number of years
Note : Logₑa = In a (check logarithmic rule)
d = 2.115Ina + 13.669
1. At 25 years,
d = -2.115In25 + 13.669
d = -2.115 × 3.2188 + 13.669
d = -6.807762 + 13.669
d = 6.8612mm
At 25 years, the pupil shrinks by 6.86mm
2. At 50 years,
d = -2.1158In50 + 13.669
d = -2.1158 * 3.912 + 13.669
d = -8.2770 + 13.699
d = 5.422mm
At 50 years, the pupil shirks by 5.422mm
To save this question, I had to plug in the values into the equation.
Solving for Logₑa might be difficult, so instead I used Inx which is the same thing. Afterwards, i substituted in the values and solve the equation for each years.
