$t = \frac{\ln (\frac{58000}{48000})}{2 (\ln (1 + \frac{0.05}{2}))}$

Step 1

For logarithmic equations, $\log_{b} (x) = y$ is equivalent to $b^{y} = x$ such that $x > 0$ , $b > 0$ , and $b \neq 1$ . In this case, $b = e$ , $x = \frac{58000}{48000}$ , and $y = t$ .

$b = e$

$x = \frac{58000}{48000}$

$y = t$

Step 2

Substitute the values of $b$ , $x$ , and $y$ into the equation $b^{y} = x$ .

$e^{t} = \frac{58000}{48000}$
