Question

Give an example of a situation that could be modeled logarithmically. It should always increase, with that increase slowing down over time.

Could your example be modeled with a different kind of function as well? Why or why not?

Expression, rule, or law that gives the relationship between an independent variable and dependent variable. Some important types of functions are injective function, surjective function, polynomial function, and inverse function.
