Research applications of logarithmic functions as mathematical models and plan a seminar based on your group's research. Each group member should research one of the following areas or any other area of interest: pH (acidity of solutions), intensity of sound (decibels), brightness of stars, human memory, progress over time in a sport, profit over time. For the area that you select, explain how logarithmic functions are used and provide examples.
The hyperbolic cosine and hyperbolic sine functions are defined by $$ \cosh x=\frac{e^{x}+e^{-x}}{2} \text { and } \sinh x=\frac{e^{x}-e^{-x}}{2} $$ a. Show that \(\cosh x\) is an even function. b. Show that \(\sinh x\) is an odd function. c. Prove that \((\cosh x)^{2}-(\sinh x)^{2}=1\)
Explain how to solve an exponential equation when both sides cannot be written as a power of the same base. Use \(3^{x}=140\) in your explanation.
Students in a mathematics class took a final examination. They took equivalent forms of the exam in monthly intervals thereafter. The average score, \(f(t),\) for the group after \(t\) months was modeled by the human memory function \(f(t)=75-10 \log (t+1), \quad\) where \(\quad 0 \leq t \leq 12 . \quad\) Use \(\quad\) a graphing utility to graph the function. Then determine how many months elapsed before the average score fell below 65.
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. I'm using a photocopier to reduce an image over and over by \(50 \%,\) so the exponential function \(f(x)=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{x}\) models the new image size, where \(x\) is the number of reductions.
