Logarithmic models are well suited to phenomena in which growth is initially rapid but then begins to level off. Describe something that is changing over time that can be modeled using a logarithmic function.
Evaluate the indicated logarithmic expressions without using a calculator. a. Evaluate: \(\log _{2} 32\) b. Evaluate: \(\log _{2} 8+\log _{2} 4\) c. What can you conclude about \(\log _{2} 32,\) or \(\log _{2}(8 \cdot 4) ?\)
Explain how to use the graph of \(f(x)=2^{x}\) to obtain the graph of \(g(x)=\log _{2} x\).
The logistic growth function $$ P(x)=\frac{90}{1+271 e^{-0.122 x}} $$ models the percentage, \(P(x),\) of Americans who are \(x\) years old with some coronary heart disease. Use the function to solve Exercises \(43-46\) At what age is the percentage of some coronary heart disease \(70 \% ?\)
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.
