Using the table of logarithms find the value of each expression.
cube root of 100 ?
this is what I have
100 ^1/3
1/3 log 100
1/3 log 1 * 10^2
1/3 0 + 2

Question 165019This question is from textbook
:
An investment of $25,400 is placed into an account that earns 6.5% interest compounded quarterly. In how many years will the investment be worth twice the original amount?
I am thinking I would use the compound interest formula A = P(l + i)^n
I had set it up like below but I seem I am doing it wrong. Should I have went with 4 or 12? any help appreciated
i = 6.5%/4 = .065/4 = .01625
101600 = 25,400(1 + .01625)^n
101600 = 25400(1.01625)^n
4 = (1.01625)^n
log4 = log(1.01625)^n
log4 = n log 1.01625
log4/log1.01625 = n
86.0017 = n
86.0017/4 = 21.50004
In approx. 21.5 years , the investment will be worth $101,600.This question is from textbook

Question 165278This question is from textbook
:
2^3x+1=13.4
Please let me know if I am wrong, Thanks
log2^3x+1 = log13.4
(3x+1)log2 = log13.4
3x+1 = log13.4/log2
3x+1-1 = 3.7441-1
3x = 2.7441
3x/3 = 2.7441/3

Question 167592: I have a word problem that I need help with. I must show my work.
1. In a certain area, the sale price of new single-family homes has increased 4.1% per year since 1992. If a house was purchased in this area in 1992 for $75,000 and the growth continues, what will be sale price in 2006? Use y=a(1+r)^t and round to the nearest cent.
Thanks

Question 167590: Can someone please help!!!
Round to four decimal places if necessary.
1. (1/5)^t-2=125
2. log4(x-9)=2
3. log4z+log4(z-3)=1
4. 3.9^m-4=10.21
I have to show my work and these I don't understand how to do.
Thanks
