630 CHAPTER 10 Inverse, Exponential, and Logarithmic Functions


Evaluate.























Solve.


























    1. 74.Consider the logarithmic equation




(a)Solve the equation using properties of logarithms.
(b)If and ,
then the graph of looks like that shown.
Explain how the display at the bottom of the
screen confirms the solution set found in part (a).
75.Based on selected figures from 1980 through 2007, the fractional part (as a decimal) of
the generation of municipal solid waste recovered can be approximated by the function
defined by

where corresponds to 1980, to 1990, and so on. Based on this model,
approximate the percent, to the nearest hundredth, of municipal solid waste recovered
in 2005. (Source:U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.)
76.One measure of the diversity of the species in an ecological community is the index of
diversity,the logarithmic expression

where are the proportions of a sample belonging to each of nspecies in
the sample. (Source:Ludwig, John and James Reynolds, Statistical Ecology: A Primer
on Methods and Computing,New York, John Wiley and Sons.) Approximate the index
of diversity to the nearest thousandth if a sample of 100 from a community produces
the following numbers.
(a)90 of one species, 10 of another (b)60 of one species, 40 of another
