30. The wind speed s (in miles per hour) near the center of a tornado is related to the distance
d (in miles) that the tornado travels by the equation = 93 log + 65.
A. A tornado whose wind speed was 270 miles per hour struck a town in Oklahoma.
How far did the tornado travel?
31. Mr. Craig’s students took a Precalculus test and then tested every month with a similar exam.
The average scores for class can be modeled by = 80 17 log( + 1) for 0 12, where
t is the time in months.
32. The Richter scale is used to measure earthquakes. The magnitude of an earthquake is modeled by
the equation = 0.67 log 0. + 1.46 where is the energy in kilowatt-hours, released by the
earthquake.
33. Given the function = ln for all > 0, and = 9 for all real .
C. Describe they symmetry of the graph of ( ). Show work to support your answer.
