Question 173495This question is from textbook Strategies for problem solving workbook
: in an exponential expression such as A=be -(t/RC) power, we cannot attach units to the exponent -(t/RC) beacause a base, such as e can only be raised to a pure number. consequently, if the variable t in this equation is measured in seconds, what does this imply about the units on the product RC?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! in an exponential expression such as A=b*e^-(t/RC) power, we cannot attach units to the exponent -(t/RC) because a base, such as e, can only be raised to a pure number. consequently, if the variable t in this equation is measured in seconds, what does this imply about the units on the product RC?
---------------------------
RC must also be in seconds so the units cancel leaving t/RC a pure number.
