You have collected that appears to fit the curve y C middot

You have collected that appears to fit the curve y = C middot 3^x. Apply an appropriate transform to this equation in order to linearize the data. What would be the ordered pairs you need to plot to verify this? (i.e. Would you plot (x, y) or something else?)

Solution

apply logarithms on both sides for given equation

then log y= logC+xlog3

hence consider (x,logy) then

it becomes linear
