Questions: Rearrange this equation to isolate A.
H ≡ K + log (A/C)
Transcript text: Rearrange this equation to isolate A.
\[
H \equiv K+\log \left(\frac{A}{C}\right)
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
To isolate \( A \) in the given equation, we need to perform the following steps:
Subtract \( K \) from both sides to get \( H - K = \log \left(\frac{A}{C}\right) \).
Exponentiate both sides to remove the logarithm, resulting in \( 10^{(H-K)} = \frac{A}{C} \).
Multiply both sides by \( C \) to solve for \( A \).
Step 1: Rearrange the Equation
To isolate \( A \) in the equation \( H \equiv K + \log \left(\frac{A}{C}\right) \), we first subtract \( K \) from both sides:
\[
H - K = \log \left(\frac{A}{C}\right)
\]
Step 2: Remove the Logarithm
Next, we exponentiate both sides to eliminate the logarithm:
\[
10^{(H-K)} = \frac{A}{C}
\]
Step 3: Solve for \( A \)
Finally, we multiply both sides by \( C \) to solve for \( A \):
\[
A = C \times 10^{(H-K)}
\]
Final Answer
Given the values \( H = 5 \), \( K = 2 \), and \( C = 3 \), we substitute these into the equation:
\[
A = 3 \times 10^{(5-2)} = 3 \times 10^3 = 3000
\]
Thus, the value of \( A \) is \(\boxed{3000}\).
