Hello,
\n" ); document.write( "To solve for \"a\"
\n" ); document.write( " y = ax^b
\n" ); document.write( "First we divide both sides by x^b to get:
\n" ); document.write( "y/x^b = a
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for b we use log:
\n" ); document.write( "Log(ax)y=b
\n" ); document.write( "Make sense?
