Solve the logarithmic equation algebraically. Approximate the result to three decimal places. $$\ln (x+1)-\ln (x-2)=\ln x$$
Use the following information for determining sound intensity. The level of sound \(\boldsymbol{\beta}\), in decibels, with an intensity of \(I\), is given by \(\boldsymbol{\beta}=10 \log \left(I / I_{0}\right),\) where \(I_{0}\) is an intensity of \(10^{-12}\) watt per square meter, corresponding roughly to the faintest sound that can be heard by the human ear. In Exercises 65 and 66 , find the level of sound \(\boldsymbol{\beta}\). (a) \(I=10^{-11}\) watt per \(\mathrm{m}^{2}\) (rustle of leaves) (b) \(I=10^{2}\) watt per \(\mathrm{m}^{2}\) (jet at 30 meters) (c) \(I=10^{-4}\) watt per \(\mathrm{m}^{2}\) (door slamming) (d) \(I=10^{-2}\) watt per \(\mathrm{m}^{2}\) (siren at 30 meters)
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. Compute \(\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]\) for a solution in which \(\mathrm{pH}=3.2\).
The IQ scores for a sample of a class of returning adult students at a small northeastern college roughly follow the normal distribution \(y=0.0266 e^{-(x-100)^{2} / 450}, 70 \leq x \leq 115,\) where \(x\) is the IQ score. (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function. (b) From the graph in part (a), estimate the average IQ score of an adult student.
Determine the time necessary for $$\$ 1000$$to double if it is invested at interest rate \(r\) compounded (a) annually, (b) monthly, (c) daily, and (d) continuously. $$r=6.5 \%$$
