Is it possible for a logarithmic equation to have more than one extraneous solution? Explain.
Rewrite each verbal statement as an equation. Then decide whether the statement is true or false. Justify your answer. The logarithm of the quotient of two numbers is equal to the difference of the logarithms of the numbers.
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 \(\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=2.3 \times 10^{-5}\).
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. Apple juice has a pH of 2.9 and drinking water has a pH of \(8.0 .\) The hydrogen ion concentration of the apple juice is how many times the concentration of drinking water?
The populations \(P\) (in thousands) of Reno, Nevada from 2000 through 2007 can be modeled by \(P=346.8 e^{k t},\) where \(t\) represents the year, with \(t=0\) corresponding to 2000 . In \(2005,\) the population of Reno was about 395,000 . (Source: U.S. Census Bureau) (a) Find the value of \(k\). Is the population increasing or decreasing? Explain. (b) Use the model to find the populations of Reno in 2010 and 2015 . Are the results reasonable? Explain. (c) According to the model, during what year will the population reach \(500,000 ?\)
