    Exponential Variable and Logarithms

    I mean, I know that if x^n=y then ln(y)/ln(x)=n. I can't figure out how to write using my values though.

    Exponential Variable and Logarithms

    Yeah, nevermind that can't be right. Very frustrating..

    Exponential Variable and Logarithms

    Would it be n=\frac{log153.33}{log(1+.00077)-1}{.00077}

    Exponential Variable and Logarithms

    Homework Statement I'm trying to find the value of a variable which happens to be an exponent. Homework Equations 230,000=1500\frac{(1+.00077)^n-1}{.00077} I believe I need to use logarithms to get to my answer, but I've reviewed logarithm rules and I'm stuck. The Attempt at a...

    Undergrad Solving an Exponential Equation with Logarithm Rules

    If I simplify the RHS further, isn't it just 1? \frac{(1+.00077)-1}{.00077}

    Undergrad Solving an Exponential Equation with Logarithm Rules

    Having an issue with applying logarithm rules. I'm trying to find the value of an exponent in an equation of the form: A=B\frac{(1+x)^n-1}{x} I have reviewed logarithm rules and cannot get to the answer, n, which is the only unkown variable in the equation. I've divided A by B, but am stuck at...
