Question

A logarithmic function is an appropriate model because, for evenly spaced y-values, the ___ of consecutive x-values is constant.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever a function is logarithmic function, we get for evenly spaced y,

say y = log x

     y+d = log x1

     y+2d = log x2

We get

d = $log \frac{x_1}{x} =log \frac{x_2}{x_1}$

In other words we get the ratios of consecutive x values is constant equal to the difference in consecutive y's.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

A logarithmic function is an appropriate model because, for evenly spaced y-values, the ratio of consecutive x-values is constant. This is the correct answer to your question.

Hope this helps!!!
