Your Turn 1 Find the domain and range for the function Solution: The domain includes only those values of x satisfying since the denominator cannot be zero. Using the methods for solving a quadratic inequality produces the domain Because the numerator can never be zero, the denominator can take on any positive real number except for 0, allowing y to take on any positive value except for 0, so the range is

Your Turn 1 For the function (a) complete the square, (b) find the y-intercept, (c) find the x intercepts, (d) find the vertex, and (e) sketch the graph. Solution (a): To begin, factor 2 from the x-terms so the coefficient of x2 is 1: Next, we make the expression inside the parentheses a perfect square by adding the square of one-half of the coefficient of x, Continued

Your Turn 4 Evaluate Solution: Using the change-of-base theorem for logarithms with x = 50 and a = 3 gives
84
Your Turn 5 Solve for x: Solution: This leads to two solutions: x = − 4 and x = 2. But notice that x = − 4 is not a valid value for x in the original equation, since the logarithm of a negative number is undefined. The only solution is, therefore, x = 2.
85
Your Turn 6 Solve for x: Solution: Taking natural logarithms on both sides gives

Your Turn 1 Yeast in a sugar solution is growing at a rate such that 5 g grows exponentially to 18 g after 16 hours. Find the growth function, assuming exponential growth. Solution: The values of y0 and k in the exponential growth function y = y0 e kt must be found. Since y0 is the amount present at time t = 0, y0 = 5. To find k, substitute y = 18, t = 16, and y0 = 5 into the equation y = y0 e kt . Now take natural logarithms on both sides and use the power rule for logarithms and the fact that Continued

Your Turn 1 continued The exponential growth function is where y is the number of grams of yeast present after t hours.
