Semi-log Plots
Sub-standards
- 2.15.A.1 — Determine if an exponential model is appropriate by examining a semi-log plot of a data set. In a semi-log plot, one of the axes is logarithmically scaled. When the y-axis of a semi-log plot is logarithmically scaled, data or functions that demonstrate exponential characteristics will appear linear.
- 2.15.A.2 — An advantage of semi-log plots is that a constant never needs to be added to the dependent variable values to reveal that an exponential model is appropriate.
- 2.15.B.1 — Construct the linearization of exponential data. Techniques used to model linear functions can be applied to a semi-log graph.
