    Logarithm Application Worksheet


    1) Healing of Wounds The normal healing of wounds
    can be modeled by an exponential function. If represents
    the original area of the wound and if a equals the area of the
    wound after n days, then the formula

    describes the area of a wound on the 𝓃th day


    following an injury when no infection is present to
    retard the healing. Suppose a wound initially had an
    area of 100 square centimeters.
    (a) If healing is taking place, how large should the
    area of the wound be after 3 days?
    (b) How large should it be after 10 days?
    (c) How many days will it take before the wound is
    11 square centimeters?

    2) Response to TV Advertising The percent of R viewers who


    respond to a television commercial for a new product after t days is
    found by using the formula

    (a) What percent is expected to respond after 10 days?

    (b) How many days until 40% of the viewers have


    responded?

    3) Optics: If a single pane of glass obliterates 10% of the light


    though it. If P is the percent of light that passes though and n is
    the number of successive panes of panes. Find the number of
    panes of glass needed to successfully block 50% of the light given
    the equation below.

    .1n
    P 100e

    b) What percent of the light is blocked by 4 panes of glass?


    4) If Tanisha has $100 to invest at 8% per annum
    compounded monthly, how long will it be before she has $150
    if the money is compounded continuously?

    b) What rate would Tanisha need to invest her money in order


    to make $200 in 7 years and her money is compounded
    continuously?

    9) A) Radioactive Decay The half-life of radium is


    1690 years. If 10 grams are present now, how much will
    be present in 50 years?
    n = number of half-lives t = number of years

    B) How many years until 2 grams are left?


    11) Population of an Endangered Species Often
    environmentalists will capture an endangered species and
    transport the species to a controlled environment where the
    species can produce offspring and regenerate its population.
    Suppose 6 American Bald Eagles are captured and
    transported to Montana and set free. Based on experience, the
    environmentalists model

    (a) What is the predicted population of the American


    Bald Eagle in 20 years?

    (b) When will the population be 300?

    10) Radioactivity from Chernobyl After the release of


    radioactive material into the atmosphere from a nuclear
    power plant at Chernobyl (Ukraine) in 1986, the hay in Austria
    was contaminated by iodine-131 (half-life 8 years.) If it is all
    right to feed the hay to cows when 10% of the iodine-131
    remains, how long do the farmers need to wait to use this
    hay?

    Extra credit: Cooling Time of a Pizza


    A pizza baked at 450ºF is removed from the oven at 5
    pm into a room that is a constant 70ºF. After 5 min
    the pizza is 300ºF.
    a) Find k first.
    b) Then at what time can you eat the pizza it you want
    the pizza to be 135ºF?

    U (t ) T (u0 T )ekt
    T=room temp
    U0= intitial temp pizza
    t = time ; k = cooling constant
