Question

Solve the exponential equation. Give answers correct to 3 decimal places. ​  ​
A) 1.159 
B) 0.093 
C) 10.714 
D) -0.093 
E) -0.424

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Taking natural logarithm on both sides, we get:
ln(0.424) = -0.093t
t = ln(0.424)/(-0.093) = 4.104
Therefore, the answer is A) 1.159 (by raising e to the power of -0.093*4.104).
