Homework Statement
I have a function, y = 6*e^0.4x. How would I convert the regular form, y=a*e^bt to the form y= at^b?
Homework Equations
y = 6*e^0.4x
The Attempt at a Solution
I've tried to take the log of both sides, but if I do that, then "y" becomes a log, and I can't remove that "log*y" unless I put the "base" of the formula back down.
And another quick problem:
Homework Statement
I have a set of data, t and C (hours and concentration; g/L, respectively). Somehow, by using that data, I can solve for the concentration equation, 1/(a+bt).
Homework Equations
Given data:
t (h) 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0
C (g/L) 1.43 1.02 0.73 0.53 0.38
Concentration equation, 1/(a+bt).
The Attempt at a Solution
Not a clue;I'm supposed to find the coefficients of the concentration equation by graphing the data that was received. I've tried to graph a graph of C vs. T, and tried to take the reciprocal of that equation, but it didn't work. I'm supposed to plot the above data in such a way, that the coefficients of the concentration formula can be solved. Any ideas on how I should go about finding the a/b values for the formula?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
