A quantity P is an exponential function of time t, such that P0a^4=27 and P0a^3=30. Use the given information about the function P=P0a^t to:

(a) Find values for the parameters a and P0.

(b) State the initial quantity and the percent rate of growth or decay.

Convert log2(1/32) = -5 to its equivalent exponential form.

Solve for x: log81(x+76)=1

Another question I have 

What is the value of a $1000 investment at the end of 4 years if the interest rate is 8% and compounded quarterly (4x a yr)? I know the solution is $1000(1.02)^16

In 1587, in an era of European colonization and Christianization of the nearby Philippines, Toyotomi Hideyoshi issued an edict banning missionaries from the country due to the religion's growing power, intolerant behavior towards Shinto and Buddhism, and involvement in the sale of Japanese people as slaves overseas. In 1597, Hideyoshi proclaimed a more serious banning edict and executed 26 Christians in Nagasaki as a warning.

Christianity was banned in Japan by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, if he had not banned Christianity, do you think Japan would have been colonized by the Portuguese or other European powers? Why or why not?
