The populations \(P\) (in thousands) of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania from 2000 through 2007 can be modeled by \(P=\frac{2632}{1+0.083 e^{0.0500 t}}\) where \(t\) represents the year, with \(t=0\) corresponding to \(2000 .\) (Source: U.S. Census Bureau) (a) Use the model to find the populations of Pittsburgh in the years \(2000,2005,\) and 2007 . (b) Use a graphing utility to graph the function. (c) Use the graph to determine the year in which the population will reach 2.2 million. (d) Confirm your answer to part (c) algebraically.
Solve the equation algebraically. Round the result to three decimal places. Verify your answer using a graphing utility. $$2 x \ln \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)-x=0$$
Use the Richter scale \(R=\log \frac{l}{I_{0}}\) for measuring the magnitudes of earthquakes. Find the magnitude \(R\) of each earthquake of intensity \(I\) (let \(I_{0}=1\) ). (a) \(I=199,500,000\) (b) \(I=48,275,000\) (c) \(I=17,000\)
Solve the equation algebraically. Round the result to three decimal places. Verify your answer using a graphing utility. $$2 x \ln x+x=0$$
Use the acidity model given by \(\mathrm{pH}=-\log \left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right],\) where acidity \((\mathrm{pH})\) is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration \(\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]\) (measured in moles of hydrogen per liter) of a solution. Find the \(\mathrm{pH}\) if \(\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=1.13 \times 10^{-5}\).
