CH 8 Test 2022

This document contains an 11-question test on exponential and logarithmic functions. It involves evaluating logarithmic and exponential expressions, solving logarithmic and exponential equations, applying exponential decay and growth models, and comparing earthquake intensities on the Richter scale. Key characteristics of logarithmic functions that are assessed include having an asymptote of y=0 and being undefined for negative and zero inputs.
