Logarithmic and Exponential Functions

The video tutorial by Kumar covers solving a Cambridge IGCSE question from 2017 involving logarithmic and exponential functions. It guides viewers through plotting a graph of Ln P against T, estimating P at T=2.2, calculating the graph's gradient, deriving the equation P = aB^T, and finding the smallest T for which P is at least 1000. The tutorial emphasizes careful graph plotting and mathematical calculations.
