2 = 1.07^t
---
take the log base 1.07 of both sides:
logBase(1.07)of(2) = logBase(1.07)of(1.07^t)
logBase(1.07)of(2) = t
---
use the Change-of-Base formula on the left side:
logBase(a)of(x) = logBase(10)of(x) / logBase(10)of(a)
---
logBase(1.07)of(2) = t
logBase(10)of(2) / logBase(10)of(1.07) = t
0.301029995664 / 0.0293837776852 = t
10.2447683511 = t
---
answer:
t = 10.2447683511
