What question can be asked to help evaluate \(\log _{3} 81 ?\)
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.
Students in a mathematics class took a final examination. They took equivalent forms of the exam in monthly intervals thereafter. The average score, \(f(t),\) for the group after \(t\) months was modeled by the human memory function \(f(t)=75-10 \log (t+1), \quad\) where \(\quad 0 \leq t \leq 12 . \quad\) Use \(\quad\) a graphing utility to graph the function. Then determine how many months elapsed before the average score fell below 65.
Use your graphing utility to graph each side of the equation in the same viewing rectangle. Then use the \(x\) -coordinate of the intersection point to find the equation's solution=set. Verify this value by direct substitution into the equation. $$\log _{3}(3 x-2)=2$$
We see from the calculator screen at the bottom of the previous page that a logistic growth model for world population, \(f(x),\) in billions, \(x\) years affer 1949 is $$ f(x)=\frac{12.57}{1+4.11 e^{-0.026 x}} $$ Use this function to solve Exercises \(38-42\) How well does the function model the data showing a world population of 6.1 billion for \(2000 ?\)
