21. The Standard and Poor’s 500, commonly called the S&P 500, is a stock market index that tracks the stock
performance of 500 of the largest companies listed on stock exchanges in the United States. The S&P 500 index is often
used as a way to measure the direction of the economy. Selected values of the S&P 500 Index are included in the table
above.
a) The first five points in the table above are already plotted on the graph below, where the vertical axis is logarithmically
scaled. Plot the remaining two points, (50, 359.69) and (60, 1455.22), on the axes below.

b) For the years 1940 – 2000, the graph of the S&P 500 Index can be modeled by a linear function when the vertical axis
was logarithmically scaled. What does this tell you about the S&P 500 Index during the years between 1940 – 2000?

When the 𝑦-axis of a semi-log plot, that is logarithmically scaled, appears linear, the S&P 500 Index data demonstrates
exponential characteristics.

22. Plot the following points on the coordinate grid above where the vertical axis has been logarithmically scaled.
𝐀(0, 50) 𝐁(1, 200) 𝐂(2, 7) 𝐃(3.2, 150) 𝐄(4.6, 22)
