Question 1099279: I have a problem:. I got the correct answer on a problem similar to this: . My process for the latter problem was to rewrite it as and then simplified it to . My answer book indicated that answer as correct. When I tried to apply the same formula to the former problem, the calculator put up a notification saying ERROR. What was I doing wrong? Do I have the wrong formula and just got the second problem right by accident? I am using a CASIO fx-9750GII. Thanks for taking the time to help!

scientific notation:



Take natural logs of both sides









Substitute in original equation above:
