Without using a calculator, find the exact value of $$\frac{\log _{3} 81-\log _{\pi} 1}{\log _{2 \sqrt{2}} 8-\log 0.001}$$
a. Use a graphing utility (and the change-of-base property) to graph \(y=\log _{3} x\) b. Graph \(\quad y=2+\log _{3} x, \quad y=\log _{3}(x+2), \quad\) and \(y=-\log _{3} x \quad\) in the same viewing rectangle as \(y=\log _{3} x .\) Then describe the change or changes that need to be made to the graph of \(y=\log _{3} x\) to obtain each of these three graphs.
a. Simplify: \(e^{\ln 3}\) b. Use your simplification from part (a) to rewrite \(3^{x}\) in terms of base \(e\)
Hurricanes are one of nature's most destructive forces. These low-pressure areas often have diameters of over 500 miles. The function \(f(x)=0.48 \ln (x+1)+27\) models the barometric air pressure, \(f(x),\) in inches of mercury, at a distance of \(x\) miles from the eye of a hurricane. Use this function to solve. Graph the function in a \([0,500,50]\) by \([27,30,1]\) viewing rectangle. What does the shape of the graph indicate about barometric air pressure as the distance from the eye increases?
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?
