6.1 Section Exercises

Linear functions have a constant rate of change. Exponential functions increase based on a percent of the original.

When interest is compounded, the percentage of interest earned to principal ends up being greater than the annual percentage rate for the investment account. Thus, the annual percentage rate does not necessarily correspond to the real interest earned, which is the very definition of nominal .

exponential; the population decreases by a proportional rate. .

not exponential; the charge decreases by a constant amount each visit, so the statement represents a linear function. .

The forest represented by the function B ( t ) = 82 ( 1.029 ) t . B ( t ) = 82 ( 1.029 ) t .

After t = 20 t = 20 years, forest A will have 43 43 more trees than forest B.

Answers will vary. Sample response: For a number of years, the population of forest A will increasingly exceed forest B, but because forest B actually grows at a faster rate, the population will eventually become larger than forest A and will remain that way as long as the population growth models hold. Some factors that might influence the long-term validity of the exponential growth model are drought, an epidemic that culls the population, and other environmental and biological factors.

6.3 Section Exercises

A logarithm is an exponent. Specifically, it is the exponent to which a base b b is raised to produce a given value. In the expressions given, the base b b has the same value. The exponent, y , y , in the expression b y b y can also be written as the logarithm, log b x , log b x , and the value of x x is the result of raising b b to the power of y . y .

Since the equation of a logarithm is equivalent to an exponential equation, the logarithm can be converted to the exponential equation b y = x , b y = x , and then properties of exponents can be applied to solve for x . x .

The natural logarithm is a special case of the logarithm with base b b in that the natural log always has base e . e . Rather than notating the natural logarithm as log e ( x ) , log e ( x ) , the notation used is ln ( x ) . ln ( x ) .

No, the function has no defined value for x = 0. x = 0. To verify, suppose x = 0 x = 0 is in the domain of the function f ( x ) = log ( x ) . f ( x ) = log ( x ) . Then there is some number n n such that n = log ( 0 ) . n = log ( 0 ) . Rewriting as an exponential equation gives: 10 n = 0 , 10 n = 0 , which is impossible since no such real number n n exists. Therefore, x = 0 x = 0 is not the domain of the function f ( x ) = log ( x ) . f ( x ) = log ( x ) .

Yes. Suppose there exists a real number x x such that ln x = 2. ln x = 2. Rewriting as an exponential equation gives x = e 2 , x = e 2 , which is a real number. To verify, let x = e 2 . x = e 2 . Then, by definition, ln ( x ) = ln ( e 2 ) = 2. ln ( x ) = ln ( e 2 ) = 2.

No; ln ( 1 ) = 0 , ln ( 1 ) = 0 , so ln ( e 1.725 ) ln ( 1 ) ln ( e 1.725 ) ln ( 1 ) is undefined.

6.4 Section Exercises

Since the functions are inverses, their graphs are mirror images about the line y = x . y = x . So for every point ( a , b ) ( a , b ) on the graph of a logarithmic function, there is a corresponding point ( b , a ) ( b , a ) on the graph of its inverse exponential function.

Shifting the function right or left and reflecting the function about the y-axis will affect its domain.

No. A horizontal asymptote would suggest a limit on the range, and the range of any logarithmic function in general form is all real numbers.

Recall that the argument of a logarithmic function must be positive, so we determine where x + 2 x − 4 > 0 x + 2 x − 4 > 0 . From the graph of the function f ( x ) = x + 2 x − 4 , f ( x ) = x + 2 x − 4 , note that the graph lies above the x -axis on the interval ( − ∞ , − 2 ) ( − ∞ , − 2 ) and again to the right of the vertical asymptote, that is ( 4 , ∞ ) .

x = 4 ; x = 4 ; By the quotient rule: log 6 ( x + 2 ) − log 6 ( x − 3 ) = log 6 ( x + 2 x − 3 ) = 1. log 6 ( x + 2 ) − log 6 ( x − 3 ) = log 6 ( x + 2 x − 3 ) = 1.

Rewriting as an exponential equation and solving for x : x :

6 1 = x + 2 x − 3 0 = x + 2 x − 3 − 6 0 = x + 2 x − 3 − 6 ( x − 3 ) ( x − 3 ) 0 = x + 2 − 6 x + 18 x − 3 0 = x − 4 x − 3 ​ x = 4 6 1 = x + 2 x − 3 0 = x + 2 x − 3 − 6 0 = x + 2 x − 3 − 6 ( x − 3 ) ( x − 3 ) 0 = x + 2 − 6 x + 18 x − 3 0 = x − 4 x − 3 ​ x = 4

Checking, we find that log 6 ( 4 + 2 ) − log 6 ( 4 − 3 ) = log 6 ( 6 ) − log 6 ( 1 ) log 6 ( 4 + 2 ) − log 6 ( 4 − 3 ) = log 6 ( 6 ) − log 6 ( 1 ) is defined, so x = 4. x = 4.

Let b b and n n be positive integers greater than 1. 1. Then, by the change-of-base formula, log b ( n ) = log n ( n ) log n ( b ) = 1 log n ( b ) . log b ( n ) = log n ( n ) log n ( b ) = 1 log n ( b ) .

6.6 Section Exercises

Determine first if the equation can be rewritten so that each side uses the same base. If so, the exponents can be set equal to each other. If the equation cannot be rewritten so that each side uses the same base, then apply the logarithm to each side and use properties of logarithms to solve.

The one-to-one property can be used if both sides of the equation can be rewritten as a single logarithm with the same base. If so, the arguments can be set equal to each other, and the resulting equation can be solved algebraically. The one-to-one property cannot be used when each side of the equation cannot be rewritten as a single logarithm with the same base.

6.7 Section Exercises

Half-life is a measure of decay and is thus associated with exponential decay models. The half-life of a substance or quantity is the amount of time it takes for half of the initial amount of that substance or quantity to decay.

Doubling time is a measure of growth and is thus associated with exponential growth models. The doubling time of a substance or quantity is the amount of time it takes for the initial amount of that substance or quantity to double in size.

An order of magnitude is the nearest power of ten by which a quantity exponentially grows. It is also an approximate position on a logarithmic scale; Sample response: Orders of magnitude are useful when making comparisons between numbers that differ by a great amount. For example, the mass of Saturn is 95 times greater than the mass of Earth. This is the same as saying that the mass of Saturn is about 10 2 10 2 times, or 2 orders of magnitude greater, than the mass of Earth.

f ( 0 ) ≈ 16.7 ; f ( 0 ) ≈ 16.7 ; The amount initially present is about 16.7 units.

Logistic models are best used for situations that have limited values. For example, populations cannot grow indefinitely since resources such as food, water, and space are limited, so a logistic model best describes populations.

Regression analysis is the process of finding an equation that best fits a given set of data points. To perform a regression analysis on a graphing utility, first list the given points using the STAT then EDIT menu. Next graph the scatter plot using the STAT PLOT feature. The shape of the data points on the scatter graph can help determine which regression feature to use. Once this is determined, select the appropriate regression analysis command from the STAT then CALC menu.

The y -intercept on the graph of a logistic equation corresponds to the initial population for the population model.

2. 42 + 14 = Answer: 7(6) + 7(2) = 7(6 + 2) = 7(8) = 56

3. 36 + 27 = Answer: 9(4) + 9(3) = 9(4 + 3) = 9(7) = 63

4. 16 + 72 = Answer: 8(2) + 8(9) = 8(2 + 9) = 8(11) = 88

5. 44 + 33 = Answer: 11(4) + 11(3) = 11(4 + 3) = 11(7) = 77

Next, add another example to one of these two statements applying factors to the distributive property.

Choose any numbers for n, a, and b.

n(a) + n(b) = n(a + b) Answer: Accept all mathematically correct responses.

n(a) – n(b) = n(a – b) Answer: The distributive property holds for addition as well as subtraction. Accept all mathematically correct responses.

d. Glenn’s favorite number is very special because it reminds him of the day his daughter, Sarah, was born. The factors of this number do not repeat, and all of the prime numbers are less than 12. What is Glenn’s number? When was Sarah born? Answer:

Station 4: Applying Factors to the Distributive Property Study these examples of how factors apply to the distributive property.

8 + 12 = 4(2) + 4(3) = 4(2 + 3) = 20 4(2) + 4(3) = 4(5) = 20

15 + 25 = 5(3) + 5(5) = 5(3 + 5) = 40 5(3) + 5(5) = 5(8) = 40

36 – 24 = 4(9) – 4(6) = 4(9 – 6) = 12 4(9) – 4(6) = 4(3) = 12
