If a function is one to one find its inverse. 7) f = { (0,-1) (1,-4) (2,4) (3,5)} 8) g = { (1,2) (4,16) (-3,4) (7,5) (0,2)} #9-10: Each of the following functions is one to one. Find the inverse of each function, and express it using appropriate notation. 9) f(x) = 6x+8 10) ( ) #11-12: Plot 5 points and sketch a graph of the function. 11) ( ) 12) ( ) ( ) 13) Use the compound interest formula ( ) to answer the following. An initial deposit of $10,000 earns 6% interest compounded monthly. How much will be in the account after 25 years? answer $44649.70 14) Write the equation in logarithmic form. e 2 = y #15-17: Find the logarithm value without using a calculator. 15) log 2 16 16) log 9 1 17) log 2 2 10 18) Graph the logarithmic function. First write the equation in exponential form, then create a table of values and plot the points. State the domain of each function. y = log 2 (x 3) #19-20: Expand into sums and differences of logarithms. 19) 20) log 4 (xy 3 z 5 ) #21-22: Write the expression as a single logarithm. 21) 3log 2 x 4log 2 y 22) 5lnx lny 3lnz 71

Chapter 6: Review #23-24: Solve the exponential equation by writing each side of the equation with the same base then equating the exponents. 23) 2 x-5 = 16 24) ( ) #25-26: Use Logs to solve. (round to two decimals) 25) 3 -x = 6 26) 18 e x = 12 #27-31: Solve the logarithmic equations, round to 2 decimals when needed. 27) log 2 x = -1 28) log 2 (x 1) = 5 29) log(x 1) = log(3x 5) 30) log 3 (x+6) log 3 (x) = 1 31) How long will it take an initial investment of $1,000 to triple if it is expected to earn 6% interest compounded continuously? (Round to 1 decimal place) answer 18.3 years 72
