Season

Runs

1

8

Explain how to create the exponential function that represents his run-scoring abilities. Then explain how to convert this function into a logarithmic function and why this can help the manager answer his question.

Ok, i think i've got it. the exponential funcion would be y=4^x

anonymous · Answer

no its y=2^x

anonymous · Answer

Ohh yeah you're ight xD

anonymous · Answer

lol this is the chart just in case

anonymous · Answer

Ok thanks, lol so for the second part,

anonymous · Answer

to turn it into a logarithmic you would do f(x) log a (x)

anonymous · Answer

log 2  2=1, log 2 4=2 and then you would continue like that

anonymous · Answer

Anything else?

anonymous · Answer

nope that's it thanks so much

anonymous · Answer

you're welcome!
