If the equation is h=38(1-e^(-0.049t))
and h=0.99*38
How to you rearrange for t?
Thanks.
h = 38(1 - e-0.049t)
Divide both sides by 38
h/38 = 1 - e-0.049t
Add e-0.049t to both sides
h/38 + e-0.049t = 1
Subtract h/38 from both sides
e-0.049t = 1 - h/38
Take natural logs of both sides
ln(e-0.049t) = ln(1 - h/38)
-0.049t = ln(1 - h/38) because ln(ea) = a
Divide both sides by -0.049
t = -(1/0.049)*ln(1 - h/38)
h = 38(1 - e-0.049t)
Divide both sides by 38
h/38 = 1 - e-0.049t
Add e-0.049t to both sides
h/38 + e-0.049t = 1
Subtract h/38 from both sides
e-0.049t = 1 - h/38
Take natural logs of both sides
ln(e-0.049t) = ln(1 - h/38)
-0.049t = ln(1 - h/38) because ln(ea) = a
Divide both sides by -0.049
t = -(1/0.049)*ln(1 - h/38)
