Q. Consider the equation\newline5e10t=30-5e^{10t} = -30. Solve the equation for tt. Express the solution as a logarithm in base- ee.\newlinet=t=\newlineApproximate the value of tt. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.\newlinett \approx
  1. Isolate exponential term: First, we need to isolate the exponential term e10te^{10t} by dividing both sides of the equation by 5-5.\newline5e10t=30-5\cdot e^{10t} = -30\newlinee10t=305e^{10t} = \frac{-30}{-5}\newlinee10t=6e^{10t} = 6
  2. Take natural logarithm: Now, we take the natural logarithm (base ee) of both sides to solve for 10t10t. \newlineln(e10t)=ln(6)\ln(e^{10t}) = \ln(6)
  3. Simplify using property of logarithms: Using the property of logarithms that ln(ex)=x\ln(e^x) = x, we can simplify the left side of the equation.10t=ln(6)10t = \ln(6)
  4. Solve for t: To solve for t, we divide both sides of the equation by 1010. \newlinet=ln(6)10t = \frac{\ln(6)}{10}
  5. Approximate the value of t: Now we approximate the value of t using a calculator.\newlinetln(6)10t \approx \frac{\ln(6)}{10}\newlinet0.179t \approx 0.179
