Find all numbers \(x\) that satisfy the given equation. $$ \frac{\log _{9}(13 x)}{\log _{9}(4 x)}=2 $$
Find at least three different web sites giving the apparent magnitude of Polaris (the North Star) accurate to at least two digits after the decimal point. If you find different values on different web sites (as the author did), then try to explain what could account for the discrepancy (and take this as a good lesson in the caution necessary when using the web as a source of scientific information).
Find the number of digits in the given number. $$ 5^{999} \cdot 17^{2222} $$
Suppose a savings account pays \(6 \%\) interest per year, compounded once per year. If the savings account starts with \(\$ 500\), how long would it take for the savings account to exceed \(\$ 2000 ?\)
Evaluate the given quantities assuming that $$ \begin{array}{l} \log _{3} x=5.3 \text { and } \log _{3} y=2.1 \\ \log _{4} u=3.2 \text { and } \log _{4} v=1.3 \end{array} $$ $$ \log _{4}\left(u^{3} v^{4}\right) $$
