HELP. MEDAL!!

Daniel is looking over some data regarding the temperatures of countries and how that relates to their number of mosquitos. The data seems to be exponential. How can Daniel determine if the data is exponential, and how can he convert that to a logarithmic function?

$$y=2^{x}$$ is the logarithmic function.

to test if the numbers are exponential , you multiply by some factor "z" for example, if z=2, then the numbers 1,2,4,8,16 is exponential if you take the ratio of any pair, you will get z. example: 2/1 = 2 or 16/8 = 2.
