14 Logarithmic Function Context and Data Modeling


AP Precalculus
2.14 Practice
Calculator Active: Instructions: Use the data provided to find a regression equation and answer the questions.
Round to nearest thousandth.
1) Mr. Bean started learning Chinese in hopes of translating all his videos one year. He created some
data to find a model for the number of days studying as a function of the number of words he
learned that day.

a) What’s a logarithmic regression equation that could model this situation?

b) How many days would it take for Mr. Bean to learn 1000 words?

c) How many words would he learn if he studied for 2 months (60 days)?

2) Mr. Sullivan recently decided (with the help from his doctor) that he needed to start a diet. Each
week he collects data on the amount of weight he loses that week. He wants to find a regression
equation that models the pounds lost on a particular week as a function of the week number.

Week # 1 2 6 9
Pounds Lost
9.5 8.5 6.5 5.5
that week

a) What’s a logarithmic regression equation that could model this situation?

b) Which week number will Mr. Sullivan lose 2 pounds?

c) How many pounds will Mr. Sullivan lose during the 12th week?

3) The latest and greatest new tech firm, Math Geek Tech, is about to go public on the Stock
Exchange. The market guys at Math Geek Tech want to create a regression model that shows the
stock price (in dollars) as a function of the number of days on the market.
Days on
1 3 4 7
Market
Stock
112 150.5 160.5 180.1
Price($)

a) What’s a logarithmic regression equation that could model this situation?

b) How many days will it take for the stock price to be $250?

c) What would the stock price be after the first two weeks on the market (14 days)?

Calculator Active: Instructions: Use the information given to answer the questions. Round to nearest
thousandth.

4) People can use the formula below to determine future populations (N(t)) of cities. N0 represents the
initial population, r is the rate of population growth, and t is the time in years.
𝑁(𝑡) = 𝑁! 𝑒 "#

a) What would the population be of Cleveland, Ohio be in 10 years if there are currently 275,000
people, with a population growth rate of 2.5%.

b) What growth rate would Cleveland, Ohio need to achieve a population of 400,000 people in 20
years?

5) Forensics often use Newton’s Law of Cooling to determine the elapsed time since a person has died.
!"#
The formula is 𝑡 = −10 ln ($%.'"#), where T stands for the body’s temperature in degrees
Fahrenheit, R is the temperature of the room and t is the elapsed time since death in hours.
a) How many hours had elapsed if the temperature of the room was 75o and the body’s temp was 85
hours?

b) Suppose a body found 5 hours after death (neighbor heard thud) in a room that was 65o. What was
the temperature of the body?
