Provide an Appropriate Response $\mathrm { y }$ -Values So That $\mathrm { Y } = \log \mathrm { y }$

question 51

Short Answer

Provide an appropriate response.
-The following data represent the bacteria population in a laboratory experiment. The researchers suspect that the population is growing exponentially. Determine the logarithm of the $\mathrm { y }$ -values so that $\mathrm { Y } = \log \mathrm { y }$ .
$\begin{array}{l|l}\text { Day, } x & \text { Population, } y \\\hline 0 & 1787 \\1 & 4871 \\2 & 13,191 \\3 & 35,959 \\4 & 97,813 \\5 & 266,048\end{array}$
