Describe the shape of a scatter plot that suggests modeling the data with an exponential function.
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 \(^{2} ?\)
Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. $$\frac{\log _{2} 8}{\log _{2} 4}=\frac{8}{4}$$
Evaluate the indicated logarithmic expressions without using a calculator. a. Evaluate: \(\log _{3} 81\) b. Evaluate: \(2 \log _{3} 9\) c. What can you conclude about $$\log _{3} 81, \text { or } \log _{3} 9^{2} ?$$
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.
