Prac Tice Test: For Questions 1 To 4, Select The Best Answer

This document contains a 14-question practice test on various math topics. The questions cover topics like logarithms, solving equations, graphing, and modeling real-world scenarios. They involve selecting answers, solving problems algebraically and graphically, interpreting graphs and models, and making predictions using exponential and quadratic functions. The goal is to demonstrate understanding of concepts taught in Chapter 7 such as laws of logarithms, solving equations, curve fitting, and modeling with functions.
