Question 251494: 1. Evaluate the logarithmic equation for three values of x that are greater than -1, three values of x that are between -2 and -1, and at x = -1.Use the resulting ordered pairs to plot the graph; State the equation of the line asymptotic to the graph (if any).
y = log4 (x + 2)
2. use the formula nkt, where n is the number of items in terms of the initial population i, at time t, and k is the growth constant equal to the percent of growth per unit of time. there are currently 63 million cars in a certain country, decreasing by 6.9% annually. how many years will it take for this country to have 33 million cars? round to the nearest year.

Question 251335: To measure the volume of loudness of a sound, the decibel scale is used. The loudness L in decibels (db) of the sound is given by: L =10 log I/I0 where I is the intensity of the sound.
Solve: The band Strange Folk performed in Burlington VT and reached sound levels of 111 db. What is the intensity of the sounds? This is my answer, but my teacher says I did it wrong. Here's what he wrote:
You have made some errors on this question.
--------------------------
L =10 log I/I0
111 = 10 log (l/10)
--------------------------
should be
L =10 log I/I0
111 = 10 log (l/10^(-12)
11.1=log I - log 10^ (-12)
Now solve for I
Thanks!

Question 251599: Solve. Where appropriate, include approximations to the nearest thousandth. If no solution exists, state this.
log x =1
If an equation reads as log 10 or 10 whatever, this means log to the base 10.
In other words, log (base10) of 10 = some number.
This particular problem reads as log base 10 of x=1. Convert to exponential form. In other words, the base to the power 1 = x.
Thus, x=1.
