Hi conniehowells;
Sorry I can't do better than this but your lab technicians will use the logarithmic function in their calculations of blood ph. You see ph meters and ph test reagents are all calibrated using a simple logarithmic equation. That's what blood acidity levels are.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
