Q. 14. The equation for wind speed w, in miles per hour, near the center of a tornado is w=93log10(d)+65, where d is the distance in miles that the tornado travels.A. Write this equation in exponential form.
Isolate logarithmic part: To convert the logarithmic equation to exponential form, we need to use the definition of a logarithm. The equation w=93log10(d)+65 can be rewritten by isolating the logarithmic part.
Subtract to isolate: Subtract 65 from both sides to isolate the logarithmic part: w−65=93log10(d).
Divide to solve: Now, divide both sides by 93 to solve for log10(d): 93w−65=log10(d).
Rewrite as exponent: Using the definition of a logarithm, we can rewrite log10(d) as an exponent: 10(w−65)/93=d.
