Math Problem Statement

All exponential functions can be written in many forms. Write the function f, of, t, equals, 67000, e, start superscript, minus, 0, point, 1, 9, t, end superscriptf(t)=67000e −0.19t in the form f, of, t, equals, a, b, to the power tf(t)=ab t . Round all coefficients to four decimal places.

Solution

We are given the function f(t)=67000e0.19tf(t) = 67000e^{-0.19t}, and we want to express it in the form f(t)=abtf(t) = ab^t.

Step-by-step process:

  1. The given function is in the form f(t)=67000e0.19tf(t) = 67000 \cdot e^{-0.19t}.
  2. We know that the natural base ee can be expressed in terms of base bb using the following identity: ex=bxln(b)e^x = b^{x \cdot \ln(b)} To express e0.19te^{-0.19t} in terms of another base, recall that ex=(eln(b))x/ln(b)e^{x} = (e^{\ln(b)})^{x/\ln(b)}, and so we multiply out the powers accordingly.
