Solve the equation \(x^{3}-9 x^{2}+26 x-24=0\) given that 4 is a zero of \(f(x)=x^{3}-9 x^{2}+26 x-24\) Example \(6)\)
Check each proposed solution by direct substitution or with a graphing utility. $$ (\log x)(2 \log x+1)=6 $$
Three of the richest comedians in the United States are Larry David (creator of Seinfeld), Matt Groening (creator of The Simpsons), and Trey Parker (co- creator of South Park). Larry David is worth \(\$ 450\) million more than Trey Parker. Matt Groening is worth \(\$ 150\) million more than Trey Parker. Combined, the net worth of these three comedians is \(\$ 1650\) million (or \(\$ 16.5\) billion). Determine how much, in millions of dollars, each of these comedians is worth.

Exercises 150–152 will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. In each exercise, evaluate the indicated logarithmic expressions without using a calculator. a. Evaluate: \(\log _{2} 16\) b. Evaluate: \(\log _{2} 32-\log _{2} 2\) c. What can you conclude about $$ \log _{2} 16, \text { or } \log _{2}\left(\frac{32}{2}\right) ? $$
Describe the change-of-base property and give an example.
