Denis is looking at the weather for the picnic and is looking over some data regarding the temperatures and how the temperature relates to the number of mosquitoes. The data are represented by the exponential function x = log381 where x is the number of mosquito populations within a square foot when the temperature is 81º. Convert this equation to an exponential function and solve for x. What does this tell us about the number of mosquitoes that could be out during our picnic?
