where a, b, c and d represent numbers. For example, \(\text{x = 3}\), \(\text{y = -7}\), \(\text{y = 5x + 11}\) Lines in the form \(\text{x = a}\) will always be ...

Data from an experiment may result in a graph indicating exponential growth. This implies the formula of this growth is \(y = k{x^n}\), where \(k\) and \(n\) are constants. Using logarithms, we can ...
