Wendy is looking over some data regarding the strength of some rope and how that relates to its number of woven strands. The data seem to be exponential. How can Wendy determine if the data are exponential, and how can she convert that to a logarithmic function?

Well, Yayo, I'd start with an exponential model based upon the most basic exponential function, y = e^x.
Then I'd modify this function by inserting a constant coefficient, k.
Then I'd take a couple of points (which I hope you have) and substitute the x and y values for each point into this model:  y = ke^x.
If you can determine a value k that makes the equation true for all of your data points, then lo and behold, the data are exponentially related.  Please try it.
