I was just wondering how to do this log question:

3000 = 100e^n

So 30 = en
loge(30) = n

Welcome to the forums! Shadow's got you covered - But if you've only just started Logs it might not be super clear how it works. Be sure to let us know if you need it clarified, or if you need help finding stuff around the site ;D

This is a bit of manipulation of the Log Laws! Namely, \(\log{a}+\log{b}=\log{ab}\):



Note that \(\log_7{7}=1\), by definition! Does this help? ;D

14 is 7*2
So log7(14) = log7(7*2) = log77 + log72 = 1 + log72
Does this help? Second question is done in same way as the first :)

Edit: someone beat me to it :P

Note, if M=0 then any value of k would work. Generally not necessary for 2U though.

How to solve this:

Express y in terms of x if:

dy/dx = 2/x2

I understand i need to find the primitive function but just not sure how to :)

Answer is y = -2/x + C

Thankyouu!

Thankyouu!

dy/dx = 2/x2 = 2x-2
\(\therefore \,y=2\times \frac{x^{-1}}{-1}+c= \frac{-2}{x}+c\) :)

Go for the
Code: [Select]
[tex] [/tex]tags rather than the
Code: [Select]
\( \) ones. Those bracket tags are more for when you have an equation in between ordinary text like \(this\)

You get used to it. Starting LaTeX in high school ain't the easiest thing to do. Doesn't take too much effort but shouldn't come immediately either.
