Manipulating an expression using logarithms |
2015-05-18 |
|
From Katie:
Solve x=At^be^-ct for b in terms of c.
The e is Euler's number, not a letter or random placeholder.
v
I've tried 2 methods on my calculator, and I am unsure as to why they give me different answers, and which one is correct.
For some reason, when placing a multiplication sign in between the A and the first t, I get a completely different answer. Why is this?
Also, which is the right answer for the question I have?
Thank you!
Katie :)
