Answer:
a) <u><em>y = 9.187 * 1.09899^x</em></u>
b) <u><em>2647.2695</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
a) using calculator, (mine is ti84 plus ce), we use stat and edit. we plug in x and y. x will be in the L1 and y wil be in L2. Now, we go to stat, calc, and we press ExpReg, short for exponential regression. we calculate and get <u><em>y = 9.187 * 1.09899^x</em></u>
you can round if you want. well, i guess you shouldn't, cuz it changes it dramatically
b) Now, we use <u><em>y = 9.187 * 1.09899^x </em></u> into the y= and we put it in whatever slot we want. Now, we press trace. we press 60 to find the y,because the number is always x. the number , y, we want is <u><em>2647.2695</em></u> recommendations.
