Question 932049: Please Help I could not understand this question!
Solve the equation and express the solution in terms of logarithms. Then, using a calculator obtain a decimal approximation, correct to two decimal places.
e then the exponents(1-8x) =7957
Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
e^(1-8x) = 7957
use rule of logarithms
1-8x = ln(7957)
1-8x = 8.9818073234
-8x = 7.9818073234
x = -0.997725915 approx -1.00
