The document is a practice test for precalculus chapter 3 containing 9 multiple choice and free response questions about logarithmic and exponential functions. Some key questions include: 1) Calculating the interest rate needed to reach a target balance amount in a specified time period with continuous compounding. 2) Finding when an original balance would triple given a 4% interest rate compounded daily or annually. 3) Solving logarithmic equations and identifying transformations, domains, ranges, intercepts and asymptotes of logarithmic functions.

PreCalculus Practice Test


Chapter 3

1. Bernie puts $7500 in an account. If he need his balance to be $10,500 in five years, what interest rate
will he need to get, if his account is compounded continuously?

If he was getting a 4% interest rate, when would his original balance triple?

If his account was compounded daily instead, still at 4% interest rate, when would his account balance
reach $12000?

2. Solve the following for x:


a. 4x = 32 b. 16x = 2 c. 4x = 2

_________________ ________________ ____________________

3. Solve the following for x:


a. log 3 x = 3 b. log 1000 = x c. ln e4 = x
