Graphs on Semi-Log Graph Paper

What is the difference between a semi-log graph and a rectangular graph? First off, a semi-log graph is meant to graph exponential functions. A semi-log graph is meant to be used for exponential growth functions. A rectangular graph is used only for regular functions or for non-exponential functions. The semi-log graph is useful because it is the most efficient way to demonstrate an exponential function where the exponent is unknown on a graph. A disadvantage to this is that a rectangular graph allows more accurate functions to be seen. A graph with a logarithmic graph scale can be misleading because most people who would see a straight line on a semi-log graph would assume that the function was a normal function without knowing the function is an exponential growth function.
