Find \(\ln 2\) using a calculator. Then calculate each of the following: \(1-\frac{1}{2} ; \quad 1-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3} ; \quad 1-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}\) \(1-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}, \ldots\) Describe what you observe.
Describe the quotient rule for logarithms and give an example.
Determine whether each statement "makes sense" or "does not make sense" and explain your reasoning. When graphing a logarithmic function, I like to show the graph of its horizontal asymptote.
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. Use the formula to solve Exercises. Round answers to the nearest tenth of a percent. Approximately what percentage of her adult height has a girl attained at age \(13 ?\)
Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. If \(\log (x+3)=2,\) then \(e^{2}=x+3\)
