Solve the equation below

log (4k − 5) = log (2k − 1)

 log (4k − 5) = log (2k − 1)

              4k-5 = 2k -1

             4k-2k= -1+5

                   2k = 4

                     k = 2

The total  gallon of Orange juice each person consumes yearly has decreased 4.1% each year. In 1981 each person drank 16.5 gallons of orange Juice on average. What was the approximate amount consumed in 2010

  y = a.bx

  y = 16.5 ( 1 - 0.04)29

  y = 5.1 


5.1 gallons of juice consumed per person

Solve the equation below

3 1 − 2x = 243

3 1 − 2x = 243

3 1 − 2x =35

1 - 2x = 5

1 - 5 = 2x

-4 = 2x

-2 = x

You buy a car for $7500 that depreciated at a rate of 15% a year. 

a) How much is the car worth after 4 years?

b) When will the car be worth  $2500 or less


  y = a.bx

  y = $7500(1- 0.15)4

  y =$3915. 05


  $2500 = $7500 (1 - 0.15)

   log (2500/7500) = T log(0.85)  

    T = 7 years

Mary invested $5000 into an account that earns 8% interest compounded daily. After 12 years What is the amount in the account?

A= P(1+ r/n)nt  

   = $5000 ( 1+0.08/365)365*12

    =$5000 (1.000219)4380

    = $$13057.11

Solve the equation. Round your answers to the nearest ten-thousandth.

6e 5x − 6 − 4 = 50


       6e 5x − 6 − 4 = 50

        6e 5x − 6= 54

         e 5x − 6 = 9

        5x - 6= ln(9)

         x = (2.1972+6) / 5

         x = 1.6394

When Jacob was born $18000 was invested in his trust fund at a rate of 6.25% interest, compounded continuously.

a) What was the balance in Jacob's account at age 15?

b) How old will Jacob be when his investment reaches $75000

   A =Pert

    A =18000.e 0.0625 (15)

   A = $45964. 61


b) $75000 = $18000 .e 0.0625 (t)

      ln ($75000/$18000) = 0.0625 t

      ln (1.4271) / 0.0625 = t

         T = 23 years (approximately)

State and define the laws of exponents

Multiplying exponents - same bases, add exponents

Dividing exponents- same bases subtract exponents

Power of zero - any base with a 0 exponent is equal 1

Negative exponent - reciprocate base and take positive exponent 

Power of One - any base with an exponent of 1 is equal to the base itself.

Power of a Power - keep base and multiply exponents.
