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. $$ y=100(4.6)^{x} $$
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. I've noticed that exponential functions and logarithmic functions exhibit inverse, or opposite, behavior in many ways. For example, a vertical translation shifts an exponential function's horizontal asymptote and a horizontal translation shifts a logarithmic function's vertical asymptote.
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. $$ y=1000(7.3)^{x} $$
The percentage of adult height attained by a girl who is \(x\) years old can be modeled by $$f(x)=62+35 \log (x-4)$$ where \(x\) represents the girl's age (from 5 to 15 ) and \(f(x)\) represents the percentage of her adult height. Round answers to the nearest tenth of a percent. Approximately what percentage of her adult height has a girl attained at age ten?
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. I estimate that \(\log _{8} 16\) lies between 1 and 2 because \(8^{1}=8\) and \(8^{2}=64\).
