Question 134548
Determine how many rips must be made by solving the equation 2.5=0.005(2)^x graphically using your calculator. Sketch and write the equation(s) if the graph(s) you used to arrive at the solution.
-----------------------------
2.5=0.005(2)^x
2^x = 2.5/0.005
2^x = 500
xlog2 = log500
x = log500/log2
x = 8.9658
