Solve each logarithmic equation in Exercises \(49-92 .\) Be sure to reject any value of \(x\) that is not in the domain of the original logarithmic expressions. Give the exact answer. Then, where necessary, use a calculator to obtain a decimal approximation, correct to two decimal places, for the solution. $$ \log _{5}(x-7)=2 $$

Begin by graphing \(f(x)=\log _{2} x\). Then use transformations of this graph to graph the given function. What is the vertical asymptote? Use the graphs to determine each function's domain and range. $$ g(x)=\log _{2}(x+2) $$

Use the compound interest formulas \(A-P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{n t}\) and \(A-P e^{n}\) to solve Exercises \(53-56 .\) Round answers to the nearest cent. Find the accumulated value of an investment of \(\$ 5000\) for 10 years at an interest rate of \(6.5 \%\) if the money is a. compounded semiannually; b. compounded quarterly; c. compounded monthly; d. compounded continuously.

Begin by graphing \(f(x)=\log _{2} x\). Then use transformations of this graph to graph the given function. What is the vertical asymptote? Use the graphs to determine each function's domain and range. $$ h(x)=1+\log _{2} x $$

In Exercises \(53-56,\) rewrite the equation in terms of base \(e\). Express the answer in terms of a natural logarithm and then round to three decimal places. $$y=2.5(0.7)^{x}$$

Solve each logarithmic equation in Exercises \(49-92 .\) Be sure to reject any value of \(x\) that is not in the domain of the original logarithmic expressions. Give the exact answer. Then, where necessary, use a calculator to obtain a decimal approximation, correct to two decimal places, for the solution. $$ \log _{2}(x+25)=4 $$

In Exercises \(41-70,\) use properties of logarithms to condense each logarithmic expression. Write the expression as a single logarithm whose coefficient is \(1 .\) Where possible, evaluate logarithmic expressions without using a calculator. $$ 5 \ln x-2 \ln y $$

Use the compound interest formulas \(A-P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{n t}\) and \(A-P e^{n}\) to solve Exercises \(53-56 .\) Round answers to the nearest cent. Suppose that you have \(\$ 12,000\) to invest. Which investment yields the greater return over 3 years: \(7 \%\) compounded monthly or \(6.85 \%\) compounded continuously?

In Exercises \(53-56,\) rewrite the equation in terms of base \(e\). Express the answer in terms of a natural logarithm and then round to three decimal places. $$y=4.5(0.6)^{x}$$

Begin by graphing \(f(x)=\log _{2} x\). Then use transformations of this graph to graph the given function. What is the vertical asymptote? Use the graphs to determine each function's domain and range. $$ h(x)=2+\log _{2} x $$
