Answer:
First page
a: 0.864
b: x = 7, -8.75
Second page:
Domain: (3, ∞)
Range: (-∞, ∞)
Asymptote: x = 3
Third page: About 464 visitors
Step-by-step explanation:
See first attached photo for page 1 work
Second page: A log argument must be positive (the number in the log x place), so and number for x greater than 3 will satisfy this requirement.
x - 3 > 0, so x > 3
The range of a log x fucntion is (-∞, ∞),
Since x ≠ 3, there is a vertical asymptote at x = 3, the graph will not cross the line x = 3
*See second attached photo for the graph
Third page: Take the visitors of one year, and divide it by the visitors of the previous year to determine the % growth.
EX: from 2003 to 2004 the number of visitors grew from 310 to 322, a % change of
322/310 = 1.07, or 7%
Do this will all the years and you will see that each year there was about a 7% growth.
So in year 2009, there will be 434(1.07) = 464.38 visitors, or about 464 visitors
