Find the value of t for which \(\frac{64}{27} = (\frac{3}{4})^{t - 1}\)

A.

-4

B.

-2

C.

11/3

D.

2

E.

4

Correct answer is B

\(\frac{64}{27} = (\frac{3}{4})^{t-1}\)

\((\frac{3}{4})^t = \frac{64}{27} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{16}{9}\)

\((\frac{3}{4})^t = (\frac{9}{16})^{-1}\)

\((\frac{3}{4})^t = (\frac{3}{4})^{-2}\)

t = -2
