The discussion revolves around the equation V = Pe-LQ, focusing on understanding the graph of lnV against Q and how to deduce the constants P and L from it. Participants are exploring the relationship between the variables and the implications of logarithmic transformations.
Some participants have attempted to apply logarithmic properties but express frustration with their results. Guidance has been offered regarding the manipulation of the logarithmic terms, suggesting that the equation can be transformed into a linear form. There is an ongoing exploration of the correct approach without a clear consensus on the next steps.
Participants are encouraged to share their work to identify specific misunderstandings. There is an emphasis on the need to clarify the application of logarithmic rules in the context of the problem.
MalachiK said:If you take logs of both sides
Ln(V) = Ln(Pe^-LQ)
you should then be able to apply the rules for dealing with logs to the equation and go from there.
