Show that \(2\left(\frac{e^{x}-e^{-x}}{2}\right)\left(\frac{e^{x}+e^{-x}}{2}\right)=\frac{e^{2 x}-e^{-2 x}}{2}\).
The half-life of radium-226 is 1620 yr. Given a sample of \(1 \mathrm{~g}\) of radium \(-226,\) the quantity left \(Q(t)\) (in g) after \(t\) years is given by \(Q(t)=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{t / 1620}\) a. Convert this to an exponential function using base \(e\). b. Verify that the original function and the result from (a) yield the same result for \(Q(0), Q(1620),\) and part \(Q(3240) .\) (Note: There may be round-off error.)
Given the functions defined by \(f(x)=2 x-1\) and \(g(x)=\frac{x+1}{2}\), a. Graph \(y=f(x), y=g(x),\) and the line \(y=x .\) Does the graph suggest that \(f\) and \(g\) are inverses? Why? b. Enter the following functions into the graphing editor. ( $$\mathrm{Y}_{1}=2 x-1$$ \(\mathrm{Y}_{2}=(x+1) / 2\) \(\mathrm{Y}_{3}=\mathrm{Y}_{1}\left(\mathrm{Y}_{2}\right)\) \(\mathrm{Y}_{4}=\mathrm{Y}_{2}\left(\mathrm{Y}_{1}\right)\) c. Create a table of points showing \(Y_{3}\) and \(Y_{4}\) for several values of \(x\). (Hint: Use the right and left arrows to scroll through the table editor to show functions \(Y_{3}\) and \(Y_{4}\).) Does the table suggest that \(f\) and \(g\) are inverses? Why?
A table of data is given. a. Graph the points and from visual inspection, select the model that would best fit the data. Choose from $$\begin{array}{ll} y=m x+b \text { (linear) } & y=a b^{x} \text { (exponential) } \\ y=a+b \ln x \text { (logarithmic) } & y=\frac{c}{1+a e^{-b x}} \text { (logistic) } \end{array}$$ b. Use a graphing utility to find a function that fits the data. $$ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline x & y \\ \hline 0 & 640 \\ \hline 20 & 530 \\ \hline 40 & 430 \\ \hline 50 & 360 \\ \hline 80 & 210 \\ \hline 100 & 90 \\ \hline \end{array} $$
Solve the equation. Write the solution set with the exact values given in terms of common or natural logarithms. Also give approximate solutions to 4 decimal places. \(10^{5+8 x}+4200=84,000\)
