    I. This document is a student's work on a logarithmic activity involving population growth and depreciation modeling. II. The student finds models for population growth in Reno using an exponential function, and models depreciation of an SUV using both linear and exponential functions. III. By comparing the two depreciation models, the student determines that the value of the SUV will decrease faster when modeled linearly versus exponentially.
