Use your school's library, the Internet, or some other reference source to write a paper describing John Napier's work with logarithms.
A cell site is a site where electronic communications equipment is placed in a cellular network for the use of mobile phones. The numbers \(y\) of cell sites from 1985 through 2008 can be modeled by \(y=\frac{237,101}{1+1950 e^{-0.355 t}}\) where \(t\) represents the year, with \(t=5\) corresponding to \(1985 .\) (Source: CTIA-The Wireless Association) (a) Use the model to find the numbers of cell sites in the years 1985,2000 , and 2006 . (b) Use a graphing utility to graph the function. (c) Use the graph to determine the year in which the number of cell sites will reach 235,000 . (d) Confirm your answer to part (c) algebraically.
Solve the logarithmic equation algebraically. Approximate the result to three decimal places. $$\log _{2} x+\log _{2}(x+2)=\log _{2}(x+6)$$
The management at a plastics factory has found that the maximum number of units a worker can produce in a day is \(30 .\) The learning curve for the number \(N\) of units produced per day after a new employee has worked \(t\) days is modeled by \(N=30\left(1-e^{k t}\right) .\) After 20 days on the job, a new employee produces 19 units. (a) Find the learning curve for this employee (first, find the value of \(k\) ). (b) How many days should pass before this employee is producing 25 units per day?
Solve the logarithmic equation algebraically. Approximate the result to three decimal places. $$\log 8 x-\log (1+\sqrt{x})=2$$
