\frac{10000}{10}=2^{\frac{t}{1.5}}
Divide both sides by 10.
1000=2^{\frac{t}{1.5}}
Divide 10000 by 10 to get 1000.
2^{\frac{t}{1.5}}=1000
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2^{\frac{2}{3}t}=1000
Use the rules of exponents and logarithms to solve the equation.
\log(2^{\frac{2}{3}t})=\log(1000)
Take the logarithm of both sides of the equation.
\frac{2}{3}t\log(2)=\log(1000)
The logarithm of a number raised to a power is the power times the logarithm of the number.
\frac{2}{3}t=\frac{\log(1000)}{\log(2)}
Divide both sides by \log(2).
\frac{2}{3}t=\log_{2}\left(1000\right)
By the change-of-base formula \frac{\log(a)}{\log(b)}=\log_{b}\left(a\right).
t=\frac{3\log_{2}\left(10\right)}{\frac{2}{3}}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{2}{3}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
