Back

Front

How can you identify an exponential function on a semi-log plot?

Back

If the plot shows a straight line, the function is exponential.

Front

What is the purpose of using a semi-log plot?

Back

To visualize exponential relationships more clearly.

Front

What does the x-axis represent in a semi-log plot?

Back

The x-axis typically represents the independent variable, which is not logarithmically scaled.

Front

What type of data is best represented on a semi-log plot?

Back

Data that grows or decays exponentially.

Front

Back

It shows an exponential decay relationship.

Front

What is the effect of logarithmic scaling on the y-axis?

Back

It compresses large values and expands small values, making exponential growth easier to analyze.

Front

What does a curve on a semi-log plot indicate?

Back

A non-exponential relationship.
