    application of exponents and logarithms

    Think of a real-life situation that can be represented by a logarithmic function, tranlate the situation to the function, and solve the function and represent it graphically.

    Growth is exponential therefore its solution is logarithmic.
    \frac{dP}{dt}=kP

    Also, Newton's law of cooling follows this principle.
    \frac{dT}{T-t_o}=kT
