logs
i got a question:

E = log N^2 / t

(thats log base 2)
How would i make t the subject,

what i did was:
> E*t = log N^2
> t = log N^2 / E

But i dont think its right?

why do you have "^" indicating the base? "^" indicates a superscript you know.

do you mean $E = \frac {\log_2 N}{t}$ or $E = \log_2 \left( \frac {N}{t} \right)$?

if you meant the first one, you are correct

the second one but N squared

$E = \log_2 \left( \frac {N^2}{t} \right)$?

Hello, taurus!

$E \:= \;\log_2\left(\frac{N^2}{t}\right)$ . . Solve for $t$.
You're expected to know this identity: . $\log_b(Y) \,= \,x\quad\Rightarrow\quad b^x \,=\,Y$

So we have: . $\log_2\left(\frac{N^2}{t}\right) \:=\:E\quad\Rightarrow\quad 2^E \:=\:\frac{N^2}{t}$

Now solve for $t$.
