The amount of time (in hours per week) a student utilizes a math-tutoring center roughly follows the normal distribution \(y=0.7979 e^{-(x-5.4)^{2} / 0.5},\) \(4 \leq x \leq 7,\) where \(x\) is the number of hours. (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function. (b) From the graph in part (a), estimate the average number of hours per week a student uses the tutoring center.
Solve the equation algebraically. Round the result to three decimal places. Verify your answer using a graphing utility. $$2 x^{2} e^{2 x}+2 x e^{2 x}=0$$
Solve the equation algebraically. Round the result to three decimal places. Verify your answer using a graphing utility. $$2 x \ln x+x=0$$
Complete the table for the time \(t\) (in years) necessary for \(P\) dollars to triple if interest is compounded continuously at rate \(r\). $$ \begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline r & 2 \% & 4 \% & 6 \% & 8 \% & 10 \% & 12 \% \\ \hline t & & & & & & \\ \hline \end{array} $$
Solve the logarithmic equation algebraically. Approximate the result to three decimal places. $$4 \log (x-6)=11$$
