Rewrite the equation in terms of base $e$. Express the answer in terms of a natural logarithm and then round to three decimal places.
\[
y=109(4.9)^{x}
\]
Express the answer in terms of a natural logarithm.
\[
y=
\]
(Do not simplify.)
Simplify the answer, rounding to three decimal places.
\[
y=
\]
\(\boxed{y = 109e^{1.589x}}\) is the final answer.
Step 1 :Rewrite the equation in terms of base \(e\). Using the property of logarithms that states \(a^b = e^{b \ln a}\), we can rewrite the equation as \(y = 109e^{x \ln 4.9}\).
Step 2 :Express the answer in terms of a natural logarithm. The natural logarithm is the logarithm to the base \(e\), denoted as \(\ln\). So, the equation remains the same.
Step 3 :Simplify the answer, rounding to three decimal places. This involves calculating the value of \(\ln 4.9\) and multiplying it by \(x\).
Step 4 :\(\ln 4.9\) is approximately 1.589.
Step 5 :Substitute this value into the equation to get \(y = 109e^{1.589x}\).
Step 6 :\(\boxed{y = 109e^{1.589x}}\) is the final answer.
