Chapter 3: Problem 95
Determine whether each equation is true or false. Where possible, show work to support your conclusion. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. $$\ln (5 x)+\ln 1=\ln (5 x)$$

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.
After a \(60 \%\) price reduction, you purchase a computer for \(\$ 440 .\) What was the computer's price before the reduction? (Section P.8, Example 4)
Use a calculator to evaluate \(\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)^{x}\) for \(x=10,100,1000\) \(10,000,100,000,\) and \(1,000,000 .\) Describe what happens to the expression as \(x\) increases.
Suppose that a population that is growing exponentially increases from 800,000 people in 2010 to 1,000,000 people in \(2013 .\) Without showing the details, describe how to obtain the exponential growth function that models the data.
The formula \(S=C(1+r)^{t}\) models inflation, where \(C=\) the value today, \(r=\)the annual inflation rate, and \(S=\)the inflated value t years from now. Use this formula to solve. Round answers to the nearest dollar. If the inflation rate is \(3 \%,\) how much will a house now worth \(\$ 510,000\) be worth in 5 years?
