  1. -4\cdot 3^{\large{6w}}=-1750

    What is the solution of the equation?

    Round your answer, if necessary, to the nearest thousandth.

    w\approx

  2. 5\cdot 2^{\large{-3t}}=45

    Which of the following is the solution of the equation?

    Choose 1 answer:

    1. t=-\dfrac{\log_2(9)}{\log(3)}
    2. t=-\dfrac{1}3\log_2(9)
    3. t=-\dfrac{1}3\log_9(2)
    4. t=-\dfrac{\log_9(2)}{\log(3)}

  3. 500\cdot 5^{\large{\frac{y}{3}}}=1

    What is the solution of the equation?

    Round your answer, if necessary, to the nearest thousandth.

    y\approx

  4. 4\cdot 2^{\large{-\frac {t}{5}}}=288
