Question 121194: I have this problem to do in my math end of term exam revision. I do not understand how to work it.
The problem is: in what year is the baseball card worth 20$? and the equation is: V(T)= 4.75(1.12)^t ...t=0 is year 1980.
Do I try different years for the fun of it or is there a way to calculate it?

Question 121251: log((0.53)/x^2))=((-4.86)/(1.98)(10^-3))((1/200)-(1/400))
I havent done this type of math in a really long time and was never particularly good at logs. This problem was part of a math review given to me in my chemistry class. It would be great if someone could give me a step by step explanation so that I could use that as an example to solve other similar problems. Thanks!

Question 121265: Hi could someone please help me with this problem?
x=e^-7.85 my teacher saids the answer is 3.90* 10^-4 I don't understand how she got this

Click here to see answer by Edwin McCravy(8882) About Me 

Question 121279: Hello,
I'm working on some problems for my chemistry II homework and am a little rusty on this type of math. The problem is...

((1.8)(10^-3))/((4.5)(10^-4))^x = ((6.4)(10^-1))/((1.4)(10^-2))
(the entire left side of the equation is raised to the x power, just in case it isnt clear the way its written out)
I solved the problem up to 4^x=45.7, but can't remember how exactly to finish it from there concerning what to type into my calculator or what format to write the problem in to solve it by hand from this point. I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer, thanks!

Answer by stanbon(13458)
---------------------------
Day 1: 2
Day 2: 2+0.04*2=2(1+0.04)= 2*1.04
Day 3 = (2*1.04)+0.4*(2*1.04) = 2*1.04(1+0.04) = 2*(1.04)^2
....
...
Day 100 = 2*1.04^99 = 97
