  1. 3.5 Demana, Waits, Foley, Kennedy Equation Solving and Modeling

  2. What you’ll learn about • Solving Exponential Equations • Solving Logarithmic Equations • Orders of Magnitude and Logarithmic Models • Newton’s Law of Cooling • Logarithmic Re-expression … and why The Richter scale, pH, and Newton’s Law of Cooling, are among the most important uses of logarithmic and exponential functions.

  3. One-to-One Properties

  4. Example: Solving an Exponential Equation Algebraically

  5. Solution Can also use Change of Base

  6. Example: Solving a Logarithmic Equation

  7. Solution This uses 1:1 property, you can also jump directly to rewriting as an exponential (line 3)

  8. Example: Solving a Logarithmic Equation ln

  9. Solution ln ln ln

  10. Solution Solve ln(2x+1) + ln(x+3) =ln(8 – 2x) ln ln

  11. Example: Solving a log equation

  18. Orders of Magnitude The common logarithm of a positive quantity is its order of magnitude. Orders of magnitude can be used to compare any like quantities: • A kilometer is 3 orders of magnitude longer than a meter. • A dollar is 2 orders of magnitude greater than a penny. • New York City with 8 million people is 6 orders of magnitude bigger than Earmuff Junction with a population of 8.

  19. Richter Scale

  20. pH In chemistry, the acidity of a water-based solution is measured by the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution (in moles per liter). The hydrogen-ion concentration is written [H+]. The measure of acidity used is pH, the opposite of the common log of the hydrogen-ion concentration: pH = –log [H+] More acidic solutions have higher hydrogen-ion concentrations and lower pH values.

  21. Newton’s Law of Cooling

  22. Example: Newton’s Law of Cooling A hard-boiled egg at temperature 100ºC is placed in 15ºC water to cool. Five minutes later the temperature of the egg is 55ºC. When will the egg be 25ºC?

  23. Solution A hard-boiled egg at temperature 100ºC is placed in 15ºC water to cool. Five minutes later the temperature of the egg is 55ºC. When will the egg be 25ºC?

  24. Regression Models Related by Logarithmic Re-Expression • Linear regression: y = ax + b • Natural logarithmic regression: y = a + blnx • Exponential regression: y = a·bx • Power regression: y = a·xb
