For the equation ae^ct=d, solve for the variable t in terms of a,c, and d. Express your answer in terms of the natural logarithm.

Respuesta :

We have been given an equation [tex]ae^{ct}=d[/tex]. We are asked to solve the equation for t.

First of all, we will divide both sides of equation by a.

[tex]\frac{ae^{ct}}{a}=\frac{d}{a}[/tex]

[tex]e^{ct}=\frac{d}{a}[/tex]

Now we will take natural log on both sides.

[tex]\text{ln}(e^{ct})=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})[/tex]

Using natural log property [tex]\text{ln}(a^b)=b\cdot \text{ln}(a)[/tex], we will get:

[tex]ct\cdot \text{ln}(e)=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})[/tex]

We know that [tex]\text{ln}(e)=1[/tex], so we will get:

[tex]ct\cdot 1=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})[/tex]

[tex]ct=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})[/tex]

Now we will divide both sides by c as:

[tex]\frac{ct}{c}=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}[/tex]

Therefore, our solution would be [tex]t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}[/tex].

We have the equation:

[tex]a*e^{c*t} = d[/tex]

And we want to solve it for t, we will get:

[tex]t = \frac{Ln(d) - Ln(a)}{c}[/tex]

Remember the rule:

[tex]Ln(e^x) = x[/tex]

and the rule:

[tex]Ln(A*B) = ln(A) + Ln(B)[/tex]

Then we can apply the natural logarithm to both sides to get:

[tex]Ln(a*e^{c*t}) = Ln(d)[/tex]

Now we use the second rule and then the first rule to get:

[tex]Ln(a*e^{c*t}) = Ln(d)\\\\Ln(a) + Ln(e^{c*t}) = Ln(d)\\\\Ln(a) + c*t = Ln(d)\\\\t = \frac{Ln(d) - Ln(a)}{c}[/tex]

This is the solution we wanted.
