Re: Help with equation

Uh, how do you simplify that by taking the log of both sides? It looks
to me like you have a sum there on the right side, and logs can't
simplify sums.

It also looks like you're missing a closing parenthesis at the end,
after the "n".

Assuming that's where it's missing, I fed the equation (except putting
it all on one side) into my 49G+'s grapher, and selected "fcn" then
"root". It found

2.06015800521

As the solution.

Actually, the simplification you could make it to just drop the second
term on the right side. You're raising a number >1 to the negative
30th power, making it very small.

Then you'd get

1 minus 30th root of (75/13)

since the 30th root is even, it gives both positive and negatives, so
you take the negative root to give the answer the 49G+ gave. You can't
take the positive root, because then you get a number that makes the
second term unignorable.
