I need help finding a logarithmic equation that passes through the points (1,0) and (6,4)
y=alogx
Need to find "a"
(1,0) implies 0=alog1
log1 is 0 so this equation implies that a could be any number.
-----------------------
(6,4) implies 4=alog6
a=4/(log6)
a=5.14038884...
-----------------------
EQUATION:
y=5.14038884... log x
