When quantities such as population and pollution increase rapidly or slowly, exponential and logarithmic equations are used to model their growth. Exponential and logarithmic functions occur in a wide variety of applications, many of which involve our environment. Examples include acid rain, the decline of the bluefin tuna, the life span of robins, air pollution, and earthquakes, to name a few. Modeling these situations help us predict the future and discover solutions.
