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. $$\log (x-15)+\log x=2$$
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. $$\log _{3}(3 x-2)=2$$
Without using a calculator, find the exact value of $$\frac{\log _{3} 81-\log _{\pi} 1}{\log _{2 \sqrt{2}} 8-\log 0.001}$$
Make Sense? In Exercises \(73-76\), determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. When I used an exponential function to model Russia's declining population, the growth rate \(k\) was negative.
The loudness level of a sound, \(D,\) in decibels, is given by the formula $$D=10 \log \left(10^{12} I\right)$$ where \(I\) is the intensity of the sound, in watts per meter \(^{2} .\) Decibel levels range from \(0,\) a barely audible sound, to \(160,\) a sound resulting in a ruptured eardrum. (Any exposure to sounds of I3 0 decibels or higher puts a person at immediate risk for hearing damage.) What is the decibel level of a normal conversation, \(3.2 \times 10^{-6}\) watt per meter \(^{2} ?\)
