Question 163180
Solve for n:
{{{1.733985 = 1.035^n}}} Take the logarithm of both sides.
{{{log((1.733985)) = log((1.035))^n}}} Apply the power rule for logarithms to the right side.
{{{log((1.733985)) = n*log((1.035))}}} Divide both sides by {{{log((1.035))}}}
{{{n = (log((1.733985)))/log((1.035))}}} Evaluate the right side using your calculator or log tables.
{{{n = 15.9999}}} which is very close to:
{{{n = 16}}}
