Afghanistan suffered two major earthquakes in 1998. The first had a magnitude of R=6.1 and the second had a magnitude of R = 6.9. Use log() + B to find how many times more powerful the second quake was. Assume that the values of B and T are equal for both earthquakes.

<p>R2-R1 = log(a2/a1) + B - (log(a1/a1) + B), 6.9-6.1 = log(a2) - log(a1)+B-(log(a1) - log(a1)+B), 0.8 = log(a2/a1), 0.8 = log(a2/a1), a2/al = 10^0.8, a2 = 10^0.8*a1</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Unit 3 Test Review: Exponential, Logistic, & Logarithmic Functions

  • Calculator Inactive: Problems focus on applying logarithm properties, solving logarithmic equations, and writing exponential functions.

Properties of Logarithms

  • Expanding Logs: Logarithms of products, quotients, and powers can be separated and simplified.
  • Example: log3(x3y/3z2) = log3(x3) + log3(y) - log3(3) - log3(z2)

Solving Logarithmic Equations

  • Example 1: 3log2x + 1 = 7
  • Solution: The steps to solve for x involve isolating the log term, using properties of exponents, and applying appropriate conversions between log and exponential forms.
  • Example 2: log√10 = x
  • Solution: Using the property of logarithms, the equation is solved by rewriting in exponential form.

Earthquake Magnitude

  • Comparing magnitudes: Earthquakes' relative magnitudes are calculated using logarithms.

Exponential Functions

  • Conditions: Problems often specify initial population, growth/decay rate, and time to determine the required exponential equations.
  • Formulas: Use formula P(t) = P0(1 ± r)t where P0 is initial population, r is rate of change, and t is time.
  • Example: Initial population 67000, decreasing at 1.67% per year → P(t) = 67000(0.9833)t

Converting Between Logarithmic and Exponential Forms

  • Key skill: Converting between logarithm and exponential forms is essential.
  • Example: Rewriting log3(x) = 8/3 as an exponential expression.

Condensing and Simplifying Logarithms

  • Combining terms: Multiple logarithms can be condensed using logarithm properties.
  • Example: Simplifying 2ln(xy2) - 3ln(y) = ln(x2y4 / y3)

Calculator Active Problems

  • Exponential equations: Various problems require solving exponential equations involving natural logarithms.
  • Example: 100e-4x = 75

Modeling with Exponential Functions

  • Word problems: Problems often involve population growth and decay, or exponential functions and solving for specific variables like time.

pH and Hydrogen Ion Concentration

  • pH scale: pH is calculated using the inverse of the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.
  • Relationship: A change of 1 pH unit corresponds to a 10-fold change in hydrogen ion concentration.

Compound Interest

  • Continuously compounding interest: Calculate compound interest using the formula A = Pert

Graphing and Analyzing Exponential Functions

  • Domain and range: Identify the domain and range from graphs or given equations.
