5. Solve each equation for x ∈ R in exact value.
[2] (a) log7 (2x + 1) − log7 (3x − 8) = 0 [3] (c) log4 (x) + log16 (25) = log4 (75)

[4] 6. Sketch the graph of the logarithmic function y = −2 log9 (3x) + 1. Make sure to include any
asymptote and intercept(s) on the graph.
[1] 7. Find all values for k so that y = tan(2θ) and y = tan(2(θ − k)) will have the same graphs.

[3] 8. An exponential function of the form f (x) = 6(cx−h ) + k has a horizontal asymptote at y = −2,
− log(3) − log(2)
and x-intercept of such that f (−1) = 4. Determine the function f (x).

9. Let f (x) = −3x2 + x − 1.
[2] (a) Evaluate the average rate of change of y = f (x) over the interval x ∈ [−1, 3].
[3] (b) Approximate, up to 2 decimal places, the instantaneous rate of change of y = f (x) at
x = −1.
10. According to Newton’s law of cooling, the temperature of an object, T (t), as it cools in surrounding
environment with temperature Tenv , is given by
T (t) = Aekt + Tenv , where
• t is the time since measurement of T ;
• A is the difference from the initial temperature of the object to Tenv ;
• k is a constant, denoting the rate of cooling of the object.
Shannon used ice water bath to cool a large bowl of soup quickly down to room temperature. He
poured the soup with a temperature of 145◦ F into an icy bath with a temperature of 25◦ F. After
2 hours, the soup has cooled to 70◦ F.
[3] (a) Find A, k, Tenv in the formula and hence the function T (t) to model this scenario. Round
the values to 2 decimal places.
[2] (b) If Shannon wants to cool the soup further to 40◦ F before storing it in the freezer, how long
will he have to wait? Round the final answer to 2 decimal places.
