Question

Wendy is looking over some data regarding the strength, measured in Pascals (Pa), of some rope and how the strength relates to the number of woven strands in the rope. The data are represented by the exponential function f(x) = 2x, where x is the number of woven strands. Explain how she can convert this equation to a logarithmic function when strength is 256 Pascals.

Answer 1

f(x) = 2^x, then
log_2 (strength) = x.
There are 8 strands in the rope when the strength is 256 Pa
