Solve each logarithmic equation in Exercises 49–92. Be sure to reject any value of x that is not in the domain of the original logarithmic expressions. Give the exact answer. Then, where necessary, use a calculator to obtain a decimal approximation, correct to two decimal places, for the solution.
log2(x – 6) + log2(x – 4) – log2 x = 2

- In Exercises 7–12, describe the relationship between the two quantities.arrow_forwardFor Exercises 33–38, find the exact value of each expression without the use of a calculator. (See Example 5)arrow_forwardAmerica is getting older. The graph shows the projected elderly U.S. population for ages 65–84 and for ages 85 and older.The formula E = 5.8√x + 56.4 models the projected number of elderly Americans ages 65–84, E, in millions, x years after 2020.a. Use the formula to find the projected increase in the number of Americans ages 65–84, in millions, from 2030 to 2060. Express this difference in simplified radicalform.b. Use a calculator and write your answer in part (a) to the nearest tenth. Does this rounded decimal overestimate or underestimate the difference in the projected data shown by the bar graph ? By how much?arrow_forward
- In Exercises 1–6, solve for x.arrow_forwardAn exponential function,f (x), passes through the points(2, 5)and (8, 20). Determine the value of f(25) to the nearest integer.arrow_forwardIn Exercises 64–73, solve each exponential equation. Where necessary, express the solution set in terms of natural or common logarithms and use a calculator to obtain a decimal approximation, correct to two decimal places, for the solution. 64. 24x-2 = 64 65. 125* = 25 %3D 66. 10 = 7000 67. 9*+2 = 27- 68. 8* = 12,143 69. 9esx = 1269 %3D 70. e12-5x - 7 = 123 71. 54r+2 = 37,500 %3D 72. 3*+4 = 72r-1 73. e2 - e - 6 = 0arrow_forward
