Document Summary
Logarithms turn exponential problems into linear ones y = ae lny - rx life) t la rx. la. Graphing a linear function has some advantages over graph , a exponential . easy to find a slope . vs . 8 has some financial instruments ( which you exponentially ) . You observe the following data expect the for years . Approximately real data almost never fits a nice function perfectly . Does this data fit a exponential function ( approximately or is something wrong year. I not a problem ) rate of increase decreases which doesn"t happen for exponential function . ( around years. How our can new idea logs take exponential functions to linear ones . we use this idea to understand the function better ( natural change: s . fraud ) One possible technique turn your expected exponential into a linea function by taking logs .
