APPLICATIONS OF EXPONENTIAL| AND| LOGARITHMIC FUNCTIONS| EARTHQUAKE WORD PROBLEMS: As with any word problem‚ the trick is convert a narrative statement or question to a mathematical statement. Before we start‚ let’s talk about earthquakes and how we measure their intensity. In 1935 Charles Richter defined the magnitude of an earthquake to be where I is the intensity of the earthquake (measured by the amplitude of a seismograph reading taken 100 km from the epicenter of the

Solving Exponential and Logarithmic Equations Exponential Equations (variable in exponent position) 1. Isolate the exponential portion ( base exp onent ): Move all non-exponential factors or terms to the other side of the equation. 2. Take ln or log of each side of the equation. • Make sure to use ln if the base is “e”. Then remember that ln e = 1 . • Make sure to use log if the base is 10. • If the base is neither “e” nor “10”‚ use either ln or log‚ your choice.. 3. Bring the power (exponent)

Localization refers to the specific area of the brain that is responsible for a specific function. In the 1960s‚ Roger Sperry and his colleagues experimented with the split brain to determine each hemispheres function‚ this knowledge had previously been undiscovered and he went on to receive a Nobel Prize in 1981. A split brain is a scenario in which the Corpus Callosum connecting the two hemispheres of the brain is severed to some degree meaning the hemispheres cannot work in correlation with

Introduction According to the International Program Center‚ U.S. Census Bureau‚ the total population of the World‚ projected to 03/27/08 at 19:37 GMT (EST+5) is 6‚657‚527‚872. (US Census Bureau) This rapid growth in population means little to most people living in this today’s world but it’s a phenomenon that should be a concern to all. It took from the start of human history to the industrial revolution around 1945 for the population to grow to 2 billion. If we then look at the figures after
