1000(e)0.09t=50001000(e)0.09t=5000
Step 1
Step 1.1
Divide each term in 1000e0.09t=50001000e0.09t=5000 by 10001000.
1000e0.09t1000=500010001000e0.09t1000=50001000
Step 1.2
Simplify the left side.
Step 1.2.1
Cancel the common factor of 10001000.
Step 1.2.1.1
Cancel the common factor.
1000e0.09t1000=50001000
Step 1.2.1.2
Divide e0.09t by 1.
e0.09t=50001000
e0.09t=50001000
e0.09t=50001000
Step 1.3
Simplify the right side.
Step 1.3.1
Divide 5000 by 1000.
e0.09t=5
e0.09t=5
e0.09t=5
Step 2
Take the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation to remove the variable from the exponent.
ln(e0.09t)=ln(5)
Step 3
Step 3.1
Expand ln(e0.09t) by moving 0.09t outside the logarithm.
0.09tln(e)=ln(5)
Step 3.2
The natural logarithm of e is 1.
0.09t⋅1=ln(5)
Step 3.3
Multiply 0.09 by 1.
0.09t=ln(5)
0.09t=ln(5)
Step 4
Step 4.1
Divide each term in 0.09t=ln(5) by 0.09.
0.09t0.09=ln(5)0.09
Step 4.2
Simplify the left side.
Step 4.2.1
Cancel the common factor of 0.09.
Step 4.2.1.1
Cancel the common factor.
0.09t0.09=ln(5)0.09
Step 4.2.1.2
Divide t by 1.
t=ln(5)0.09
t=ln(5)0.09
t=ln(5)0.09
Step 4.3
Simplify the right side.
Step 4.3.1
Replace e with an approximation.
t=log2.71828182(5)0.09
Step 4.3.2
Log base 2.71828182 of 5 is approximately 1.60943791.
t=1.609437910.09
Step 4.3.3
Divide 1.60943791 by 0.09.
t=17.88264347
t=17.88264347
t=17.88264347
