Solve each of the following logarithmic equations.
1.The relationship between the surface area A cm^2 and the volume V cm^3
of a sphere can be represented by the following formula:
A=4.836V^n (where n is a constant)
Given that the area of a sphere is 1 000 cm^2 and its volume is2 974cm^3,
find the value of n by using logarithms,and give the answer correct to 3 signficant
figures
ANS:0.667
2.In an experiment to investigate the reproduction of a certain kind of cell,it is
knownthat the number (N) of cells at the t-th hour of the experiment can be
expressed as the following formula:
N=300 log t
If the number of cells at the t-th hour is increased by 90 when compared with
that at 8 hours ago,find the value of tcorrect to the nearest integer.
ANS:9.0*10^9
3.Accordind to a research of oceanography, for every metre that a diver goes
down,the light intensity will increase by 2.5%.How many metres should a diver
go such that
(a)the light intensity is one fourth of that at the water surface?
(b)the light intensity is 1%of that at the water surface?
(give the anwers correct to the nearest integer)
ANS:(a)55m
(b)182m
