Question 691374
1) suppose that g(x) = 5^x - 3.
a) what is g(0)?
g(0) = 5^0 - 3
any term with an exponent of 0 is equal to 1, therefore
g(0) = 1 - 3
g(0) = -2
:
b) What point is on the graph of g?
Let x = 2
g(2) = 5^2 - 3
g(2) = 25 - 3
g(2) = 22
Point 2, 22 is on the graph
:
c) If g(x) = 622, what is the value of x?
x = 622
:
2) Solve the logarithmic equation: 
4e^(y+1) = 5
divide both sides by 4
e^(y+1) = 5/4
e^(y-1) = 1.25
Using nat logs
ln(e^(y-1) = ln(1.25)
The log equiv of exponent
(y-1)*ln(e) = ln(1.25)
the ln of e is one so we have
y - 1 = .223
y = .223 + 1
y = 1.223
Check this on your calc: enter: 4*e^(1.223-1), results: 4.999 ~ 5
:

3) Write the given expression as a single logarithm:
21(log3)(third root of w)+(log3)(9w^2)-(log3)9 
Assume you mean:
{{{21*log(3,w^(1/3))+log(3,w^2)-log(3,9)}}}
the exponent equiv
{{{21*log(3,w^(21(1/3)))+log(3,w^2)-log(3,9)}}} = {{{log(3,w^7)+log(3,w^2)-log(3,9)}}}
Adding logs is multiply, subtracting logs is divide
{{{log(3,(w^7*w^2)/9)}}} = {{{log(3,(w^9/9))}}}
