The bar graph indicates that the percentage of first-year college students expressing antifeminist views declined after \(1970 .\) Use this information to solve. (GRAPH CANNOT COPY). The function $$f(x)=-4.82 \ln x+32.5$$ models the percentage of first-year college women, \(f(x)\) expressing antifeminist views (by agreeing with the statement) \(x\) years after 1969. a. Use the function to find the percentage of first-year college women expressing antifeminist views in 2008 . Round to one decimal place. Does this function value overestimate or underestimate the percentage displayed by the graph? By how much? b. Use the function to project the percentage of first-year college women who will express antifeminist views in \(2015 .\) Round to one decimal place.
Hurricanes are one of nature's most destructive forces. These low-pressure areas often have diameters of over 500 miles. The function \(f(x)=0.48 \ln (x+1)+27\) models the barometric air pressure, \(f(x),\) in inches of mercury, at a distance of \(x\) miles from the eye of a hurricane. Use this function to solve Use an equation to answer this question: How far from the eye of a hurricane is the barometric air pressure 29 inches of mercury? Use the \(\mathrm{TRACE}\) and \(\mathrm{ZOOM}\), features or the intersect command of your graphing utility to verify your answer.
Solve each equation. Check each proposed solution by direct substitution or with a graphing utility. $$ \ln (\ln x)=0 $$
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. It's important for me to check that the proposed solution of an equation with logarithms gives only logarithms of positive numbers in the original equation.
Find the domain of each logarithmic function. $$ f(x)=\ln (x-2)^{2} $$
