- In Exercises 128–131, graph f and g in the same viewing rectangle. Then describe the relationship of the graph of g to the graph of f. 128. f(x) = In x, g(x) = In(x + 3) 129. f(x) = In x, g(x) = In x + 3 130. f(x) = log x, g(x) = -log x 131. (x) = log x, g(x) = log(x – 2) + 1arrow_forwardFor Exercises 13–18, use the quotient property of logarithms to write the logarithm as a difference of logarithms. Then simplify if possible. (See Example 2) 13. logiz 14. log 15. In 1000 16. In 17. log 18. log 100arrow_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
- In Exercises 41–67, use properties of logarithms to condense each logarithmic expression. Write the expression as a single logarithm whose coefficient is 1. Where possible, evaluate logarithmic expressions without using a calculator. 41. log5 + log2 57. 3ln x - 1/3ln y 67. 1/3 [2ln(x+5)-ln x-ln(x2 -4)]arrow_forwardFor Exercises 33–38, find the exact value of each expression without the use of a calculator. (See Example 5)arrow_forwardYour cardiac index is your heart's output, in liters of blood per minute, divided by your body's surface area, in square meters. The cardiac index, C(x), can be modeled by 7.644 C(x) = 10 s xs 80, where x is an individual's age, in years. The graph of the function is shown. Use the function to solve Exercises 95–96. 7.644 C(x) = %3D 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 Age 95. a. Find the cardiac index of a 32-year-old. Express the denominator in simplified radical form and reduce the fraction. b. Use the form of the answer in part (a) and a calculator to express the cardiac index to the nearest hundredth. Identify your solution as a point on the graph. 96. a. Find the cardiac index of an 80-year-old. Express the denominator in simplified radical form and reduce the fraction.

- The average amount A (in pounds per person) of fish and shellfish consumed in the UnitedStates during the period 1992–2001 can be modeled by A = (3.2x + 260)/(52x + 3800) where x is the number of years since 1992.Rewrite the model so that it has only whole number coefficients. Then simplify the model.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_forward2.
