Chapter 3: Problem 13

(a) solve for \(P\) and (b) solve for \(t\). $$A=P e^{r t}$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The solution to this exercise are the equations: (a) \(P = A / e^{rt}\), and (b) \(t = ln(A/P) / r\).

Step by step solution

01

Solve for P

To solve for \(P\), the task is to isolate \(P\) on one side of the equation. To do this, both sides of the equation are divided by \(e^{rt}\), giving: \(P = A / e^{rt}\).
02

Solve for t

To solve for \(t\), a logarithm is necessary to remove the exponent on the variable that the task is to solve for. First, isolate the exponent, then use the property that the natural log of \(e^{x}\) is \(x\) to get rid of the exponent, and finally, apply the natural logarithm to both sides of the equation to obtain: \(ln(A/P) = rt\). After that, t can be isolated by dividing both sides of the equation by \(r\), leading to: \(t = ln(A/P) / r\).

The number \(y\) of hits a new search-engine website receives each month can be modeled by \(y=4080 e^{k t},\) where \(t\) represents the number of months the website has been operating. In the website's third month, there were 10,000 hits. Find the value of \(k,\) and use this value to predict the number of hits the website will receive after 24 months.
