Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. Examples of exponential equations include \(10^{x}=5.71\) \(e^{x}=0.72,\) and \(x^{10}=5.71\)
Explain the differences between solving \(\log _{3}(x-1)=4\) and \(\log _{3}(x-1)=\log _{3} 4\).
$$\text { Solve: } \frac{x+2}{4 x+3}=\frac{1}{x}$$
The function \(W(t)=2600\left(1-0.51 e^{-0.075 t}\right)^{3}\) models the weight, \(W(t),\) in kilograms, of a female African elephant at age \(t\) years. (1 kilogram \(\approx 2.2\) pounds) Use a graphing utility to graph the function. Then \([\text { TRACE }]\) along the curve to estimate the age of an adult female elephant weighing 1800 kilograms.
Use a graphing utility and the change-of-base property to graph \(y=\log _{3} x, y=\log _{25} x,\) and \(y=\log _{100} x\) in the same viewing rectangle. a. Which graph is on the top in the interval \((0,1) ?\) Which is on the bottom? b. Which graph is on the top in the interval \((1, \infty) ?\) Which is on the bottom? c. Generalize by writing a statement about which graph is on top, which is on the bottom, and in which intervals, using \(y=\log _{b} x\) where \(b>1\)
