\begin{tabular}{|l|}\hline Thurs day: \\ At Still Bay Middle School, 3 out of 5 teachers have earned their masters degrees. \\ If there are 30 teachers at the school, how many of them have earned their \\ masters degrees? (HINT: set up equivalent ratios and solve!) \end{tabular}

Determine whether the following statment is true or false. The graph of \( y=\frac{1}{7} g(x) \) is the graph of \( y=g(x) \) stretched by a factor of 7 . Choose the correct answer below. A. True, because the graph of the new function is obtained by adding 7 to each \( x \)-coordinate. Balse, because the graph of the new function is obtained by multiplying each \( y \)-coordinate of \( y=g(x) \) by \( \frac{1}{7}<1 \). C. True, because the graph of the new function is obtained by multiplying each \( y \)-coordinate of \( y=g(x) \) by 7 and \( 7>1 \). D. False, because the graph of the new function is obtained by adding 7 to each \( x \)-coordinate.

Consider the number pattern below: \[ \frac{-3}{5} ; \frac{-6}{9} ; \frac{-9}{13} ; \ldots . \ldots \] Determine the next two terms of the number pattern. Determine the \( n^{\text {th }} \) term of the number pattern.

A 25 -year old woman burns \( 350-70 t \) cal/hr while walking on her treadmill. Her caloric intake from drinking Gatorade is \( 135 t \) calories during the \( t \) th hour. What is her net decrease in calories after walking for 4 hours?

Use propenties of logarithms to condense the logarithmic expression. Write the expression as a single logarithm whose coefficient is 1 . Where possible, evaluate logarithmic expressions. \( 7 \ln (x-4) \) - \( 3 \ln x \)
