...MAT220 119. Explain how to solve an exponential equation when both sides can be written as a power of the same base. When an exponential equation has both sides of the equation as the same base one needs to rewrite the equation in the form of bM=bN. For instance, 24x-3=8. To make this the same base we need to make 8 a base of two by writing it as 2^3. Then we have 24x-3=23. Then we get rid of the base and get 4x-3=3. Finally we solve for x. 4x-3=3 4x=6 x=23 120. Explain how to solve an exponential equation when both sides cannot be written as a power of the same base. Use 3x = 140 in your explanation. To solve this equation one needs to use a natural logarithm or ln. First take the ln of both sides, ln 3x= ln 140 Then using bx= x ln b, move the variable to the front, x ln 3 = ln 140 Solve for x, x= ln3ln140= 1.0986122887/4.9416424226 = 0.22231723680404. 121. Explain the differences between solving log31x - 12 = 4 and log31x - 12 = log3 4. When solving log31x - 12 = 4 one needs to write it in the form of bc=M. To do this we do the following; logbM=c means bc=M. 1) log31x - 12 = 4 2) 34=x-12 3) 81=x-12 4) x=93 In the case of log31x - 12 = log3 4, since the log is the same on both sides of the equation the will be omitted. The new equation would be; 1x-12=4. Then solve as normal. Add 12 to 4 to get 16, leaving 1x, which is just x and you have x=16. 122. In many states, a 17% risk of a car accident...

...Nina Hills MAT 205 /Week 2 Focus on Application 07/11/2014 The concept of this week was to look at function problems that can include exponentials and logarithms with functions. These functions help with situations such as profit analysis, compound interest, continues compound interest or even doubling time for an investment. An example that I have that would go very well with today’s day in age would be simply the economy on its own. Our economy has taken such a huge turn downhill due to big banks making poor choices of investment. With that, many people don’t have savings accounts, 401K’s and such for their own future ahead. These two examples are examples of ways we may save for our retirement, but at this point there is a bare chance of that happening at an earlier on age. Many will have to work longer throughout their lives just to make sure that they are financially set when entering retirement. With the concepts of this week, we can calculate how long it would take to double a certain amount of investment in a certain time period with a fixed interest rate that would play upon a certain interval. A=P(1+r/m)^mt This equation can help determine t (time), for the principal to double. We can put in 2P for A, due to the other known values are r (interest rate) and m=1. Once we solve for t, we know the amount of time it will take to double our investment. With this week’s concept, we can predict at a pretty accurate rate the amount of time it takes to grow...

...This is an essay about nothing in order to qualify for this site it must contain at least 250 words. So On the left-hand side above is the exponential statement "y = bx". On the right-hand side above, "logb(y) = x" is the equivalent logarithmic statement, which is pronounced "log-base-b of y equals x"; The value of the subscripted "b" is "the base of the logarithm", just as b is the base in the exponential expression "bx". And, just as the base b in an exponential is always positive and not equal to 1, so also the base b for a logarithm is always positive and not equal to 1. Whatever is inside the logarithm is called the "argument" of the log. Note that the base in both the exponential equation and the log equation (above) is "b", but that the x and y switch sides when you switch between the two equations.PrintHidden<p><font face="Arial" size="2" color="#000000">Note: The graphic in the box below is animated in the original ("live") web lesson.</font></p> —The Relationship Animated— | | If you can remember this relationship (that whatever had been the argument of the log becomes the "equals" and whatever had been the "equals" becomes the exponent in the exponential, and vice versa), then you shouldn't have too much trouble with logarithms.

...and brought the microscope over to my work area, making sure to carry the microscope by the arm and base. I uncovered and plugged in the microscope. I then went back to the cart and got a slide and slide cover, as well as a small glass bottle and dropper. I filled the small glass bottle with water and took everything back to my work area. I wrote a letter e on a piece of paper with a pen, pulled a strand of hair from my head and pulled a string off of my jacket. Then I turned on the microscope, prepared my slide and proceeded to look at each object under the microscope. Data: If the slide was too close or too far from the lens than you will not be able to see the specimen. The larger the magnification on the microscope the more detail that can be seen. The course and fine adjustment knobs move the slide up and down to help focus the specimen on the slide. The mechanical stage controls move the slide left and right, and forward and backwards. Findings: While observing the hair under the microscope I noticed that it is not smooth. The hair actually looks like it is made up of tiny scales. While observing the paper with the letter e written on it, I noticed that, just like the hair, the paper does not look smooth. The paper actually looks like a bunch of threads woven together like a birds nest. The ink on the paper only seemed to stick to the top layer or two of the paper material. I also observed that the letter appeared upside down and...

...A Generalized Logarithm for Exponential-Linear Equations Dan Kalman Dan Kalman (kalman@email.cas.american.edu) joined the mathematics faculty at American University in 1993, following an eight year stint in the aerospace industry and earlier teaching positions in Wisconsin and South Dakota. He has won three MAA writing awards, is an Associate Editor of Mathematics Magazine, and served a term as Associate Executive Director of the MAA. His interests include matrix algebra, curriculum development, and interactive computer environments for exploring mathematics, especially using Mathwright software. How do you solve the equation 1.6x = 5054.4 − 122.35x? (1) We will refer to equations of this type, with an exponential expression on one side and a linear one on the other, as exponential-linear equations. Numerical approaches such as Newton’s method or bisection quickly lead to accurate approximate solutions of exponential-linear equations. But in terms of the elementary functions of calculus and college algebra, there is no analytic solution. One approach to remedying this situation is to introduce a special function designed to solve exponential-linear equations. Quadratic equations, by way of analogy, are √ solvable in terms of the special function x, which in turn is simply the inverse of a very special and simple quadratic function. Similarly, exponential equations are solvable in terms of the natural logarithm log, and that too is the inverse of...

...1. An exponential function is a function with a constant base that is changed by x, a variable. Exponential functions are used to predict changes in murder rates, bacteria growth even investments. This function can also be used in predicting rate of decay such as automobile value and radioactive half-life. 2. The natural exponential function, f(x) = ex, has a known base constant. Unlike other exponential functions where the constant, a, can be any real number, e is always 2.718. A good example of a natural exponential function is continuous compound interest. 3.

An exponential equation is defined as an equation that contains a variable in an exponent. In order to solve an exponential equation we need to look at the steps that are required. Exponential equations that have the same base are in the form of If bm=bn. When we see an equation of exponents with the same base we will find the answer by setting the exponents equal to each other. The formula that we can look at to understand how to solve an exponential equations is defined as If bm=bn, then m=n. The steps that we will take are as follows: 1. Rewrite the equation in the form bm=bn. 2. Set m=n. 3. Solve for the variable. 120. Explain how to solve an exponential equation when both sides cannot be written as a power of the same base.

...Speed-Accuracy Tradeoff Mikko Allen D. San Miguel Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila Abstract In Speed-Accuracy Tradeoff, a low speed means higher accuracy and a high speed means lower accuracy. This principle is applied in terms of reading. It is predicted that when people read faster, they tend to be less accurate about what they read. This is tested by compelling subjects, to read faster. The subjects were asked to read faster than average, by increasing the target number of lines they were required to read. Also, they were asked to cross-out all the letter e’s that they see as they go through a reading material. Most of the results are consistent with the prediction. When subjects read faster, they committed more mistakes and when they read slower, they were able to commit less. However, other findings are inconsistent with this prediction. For example, even when the subjects were not required to read faster than average, they were still unable to gain a higher score in correctly crossing-out the letter e’s that they came across. Introduction Is a job done fast, a job done inaccurately or can a job be done both fast and accurate? Individuals attempt to perform well in both factors (Zimmerman, 2011). Everyone wants a job well done in a minimum amount of time. For example, it would be amazing if a repairman can fix a broken phone properly in less than the average time it usually takes; this is beneficial to both parties. The client saves more time than usual. Similarly...
