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 nuptured eardrum. Use the formula to solve Exercises. The sound of a blue whale can be heard 500 miles away, reaching an intensity of \(6.3 \times 10^{6}\) watts per meter? Determine the decibel level of this sound. At close range, can the sound of a blue whale rupture the human eardrum?
a. Evaluate: \(\log _{2} 16\) b. Evaluate: \(\log _{2} 32-\log _{2} 2\) c. What can you conclude about $$\log _{2} 16, \text { or } \log _{2}\left(\frac{32}{2}\right) ?$$
Explain how to find the domain of a logarithmic function.
Solve each equation in Exercises \(144-146 .\) Check each proposed solution by direct substitution or with a graphing utility. $$\ln (\ln x)=0$$
Solve each equation. $$5^{2 x} \cdot 5^{4 x}=125$$
