Question 967090: A town of 12000 people is growing at a rate of 10% per year. The time t in years until it reaches a population Q is given by t= logbase 1.1 Q - logbase 1.1 12000. Rewrite this using a single logarithm. Not sure what to do about the 10% in the problem. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A town of 12000 people is growing at a rate of 10% per year. The time t in years until it reaches a population Q is given by t= logbase 1.1 Q - logbase 1.1 12000. Rewrite this using a single logarithm. Not sure what to do about the 10% in the problem.
----------------------------
t= logbase 1.1 Q - logbase 1.1 12000
====
Ans:: t = log1.1[Q/12000]
