Write the logarithmic equation in exponential form. $$\ln \frac{1}{2}=-0.693 \ldots$4
In Exercises \(97-102,\) determine whether the statement is true or false given that \(f(x)=\ln x .\) Justify your answer. If \(f(x) < 0,\) then \(0 < x < 1\)
Is it possible for a logarithmic equation to have more than one extraneous solution? Explain.
Home Mortgage The total interest \(u\) paid on a home mortgage of \(P\) dollars at interest rate \(r\) for \(t\) years is $$u=P\left[\frac{r t}{1-\left(\frac{1}{1+r / 12}\right)^{12 t}}-1\right]$$ Consider a \(\$ 120,000\) home mortgage at \(7 \frac{1}{2} \%\) (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the total interest function. (b) Approximate the length of the mortgage for which the total interest paid is the same as the size of the mortgage. Is it possible that some people are paying twice as much in interest charges as the size of the mortgage?
Solve the logarithmic equation algebraically. Approximate the result to three decimal places. $$\log _{4} x-\log _{4}(x-1)=\frac{1}{2}$$
