What is a logarithmic scale? Why is it more useful for some things than a regular numerical scale?
In: Mathematics
It just raises everything to the power of ten so basically a 1 on the logarithmic scale is 10, 2 is 100, 3 is 1000. You get the idea. It can help scale down monstrous graphs.
Like maybe a graph has the first point at 1 and the last one at 100,000. Log scale can simplify things
