TopicExponential Equations & Modelling

7 The relationship between the variables \(P\) and \(Q\) is modelled by the formula
\(Q = a P ^ { n }\)
where \(a\) and \(n\) are constants.
Some values of \(P\) and \(Q\) are obtained from an experiment.
  1. State appropriate quantities to plot so that the resulting points lie approximately in a straight line.
  2. Explain how to use such a graph to estimate the value of \(n\).
