Assignment/Task 3.1: Exponential and logarithmic functions (exercise solutions)
(Value: 30 points)
(SET A)
In this task you will be presented with a series of exercises where you will apply the properties of the
functions to solve problems and you will be able to:
• to diagram a set of data with an exponential or logarithmic function;
• solve exponential and logarithmic equations, and
• calculate compound interest and the effective rate.
Note: In the event that the result is decimal, you will round it to two decimal places.
1. Let's suppose that a doctor is monitoring cancer cells in a patient in order to
start a curative treatment before the count reaches 60,000. The data is observed in
the following table:

On a Cartesian plane, draw the data set. (5 points)
Note: In the scatter plot, the X-axis represents time in days and the Y-axis represents the count.
of cells. Each point on the graph corresponds to a pair of values (time X, cell count Y) of
the data table. After plotting these points on the graph, you could connect them with smooth lines
to obtain a smoother visualization of how the cell count changes over time. This will you
will allow us to clearly see the trend of increasing cancer cell counts over time and
how it approaches the critical value of 60,000.
2. Solve the following equation using the corresponding properties: (6 points)
a)32x+8 = 81. b)25x+10= 25.
3^(2x + 8) = 3^4 log₂25 = 5x + 10
2x + 8 = 4
2x=4-8
2x = -4
2 2
X= -2
3. Solve the following equation using the corresponding properties: (6 points)
a) log53A
( - 7= 2.) b)log2 ( −2 9 =) 4
5 squared equals 3x minus 7 2^4 = x² - 9
25=3x-7 16 = x² - 9
25 + 7 = 3x 9 + 16 = x²
32=3x 25=x²

4. Let’s assume that $2,000 is deposited in a savings and loan account that pays 2%
semianual compound interest. Use compound interest to calculate the following:
a. How much money will the interest reach in 5 years? (4 points)
b. How much will be saved in total after 15 years? (4 points)
$2000
R/K: 2% / 2 = 1
n: 2 (5 years) = 10

At 5 years old, he will reach an interest of $209.
At 15 years old, he will have saved a total of $33,135.
5. Celene invests $3,500 in a bank at an annual interest rate of 5.9%, compounded quarterly. She uses
the compound interest to determine how much you will have saved at the end of 10 years. (5 points)
