Homework Statement
i have some data and i have to find out if they can be put in the function f(x)=a^x or f(x)=x^a
it is about how much time there goes before the population soemwhere grows or such.
Homework Equations
data: it is about the growth or a population in a villlage (way hard to explain)
time data: 15,59, 146,362, 571, 900
population; 72,69,67,65,64,63
addition: see the attachments. the red apaper is the doublelogarithm paper where i have put my data, and the grey is the single logarithm where i have put my data...but as you see the lines are both straight which is the problem
The Attempt at a Solution
then i have been thinking that u can actually just draw it and see if it makes a stright line in a double or single logarithm paper. and where it makes the stright line must be that funktion, but when i did draw it turned out to be stright in both the single logarithm paper and the double logarithm paper ...that is the reason why i need help...because i know it should only be stright in one of them yet it turned out to be in both
i hope that someone will help me
