Write each equation in its equivalent exponential form. Write each equation in its equivalent logarithmic form.
Find the exact value of: The two most common bases are 10 and e. If you see log(x) this has a base of 10. However if you see ln(x) this has a base of e. 2

Decibel(sound):
I=intensity, IT=intensity threshold(1x10­12)
Richter Scale: M=magnitude, E=energy released, E0=reference quake(104.4joules)
Suppose you have seats to a concert given by your favorite musical artist. Calculate the approximate decibel level associated with the typical sound intensity, given I=1x10­2 W/m2

On Oct.17,1989, just moments before game 3 of the World Series between Oakland A's and the San Francisco Giants was about to start­with 60,000 fans in Candlestick Park­a devastating earthquake erupted. Parts of interstates and bridges collapsed, and President George H.W. Bush declared the area a disaster zone. The earthquake released approximately 1.12x1015 joules of energy. Calculate the magnitude of the earthquake using the Richter scale. Suggested Problems: Ch 5.2 pg.507 #'s 1,11,23,29,31,37,39,45,47,53, 55,61,63,67,69,75,83,85,95,97
