Q. Consider the equation 5e10t=30 -5 \cdot e^{10 t}=-30 .\newlineSolve the equation for t t . Express the solution as a logarithm in base- e e .\newlinet=t = \square\newlineApproximate the value of t t . Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.\newlinett \approx \square\newline
  1. Isolate exponential term: Isolate the exponential term.\newlineStart with the equation 5e10t=30-5e^{10t} = -30.\newlineDivide both sides by 5-5 to isolate the exponential term.\newlinee10t=305e^{10t} = \frac{-30}{-5}\newlinee10t=6e^{10t} = 6
  2. Take natural logarithm: Take the natural logarithm of both sides.\newlineTo solve for tt, take the natural logarithm (ln\ln) of both sides of the equation.\newlineln(e10t)=ln(6)\ln(e^{10t}) = \ln(6)
  3. Apply logarithm property: Apply the property of logarithms.\newlineUse the property of logarithms that ln(ex)=x\ln(e^x) = x to simplify the left side of the equation.\newline10t=ln(6)10t = \ln(6)
  4. Solve for t: Solve for t.\newlineDivide both sides by 1010 to solve for tt.\newlinet=ln(6)10t = \frac{\ln(6)}{10}
  5. Approximate value of tt: Approximate the value of tt. Use a calculator to find the approximate value of ln(6)\ln(6) and then divide by 1010. tln(6)/10t \approx \ln(6) / 10 t0.179/10t \approx 0.179/10 t0.018t \approx 0.018 However, rounding to the nearest thousandth, we get: t0.018t \approx 0.018
