Wilson wants to know how long it will take his $1000 investment to double in an account that is earning 6% interest compounded quarterly. He sets up
the equation 2 = (1.015)" to solve for t. How can he rewrite this exponential
equation as a logarithm?

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the log of both sides:

log(2) = t*log 1.015, so that:

        log(2)

t = = 46.6 compounding periods, which is 46.6/4, or 11.6 years

     log 1.015

Can't write this exponential equation as a logarithm; instead, CAN write it in logarithmic form.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
