Answer:
y = 1.5x + 3.2009
Step-by-step explanation:
I plotted your points and drew a linear regression line.
Its equation is
y = 1.5x + 3.2009
The regression line ignores the fact that the points fall along a smooth curve.
A parabolic regression line fits the data much better.
The equation for that line is
y = - 0.1647x² + 4.1357x - 5.6946
It is the equation for a vertical parabola opening downward.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
exponential function :
where a = y intercept and b = factor ( what you multiply by )
looking at the table the y intercept is at (0,10) so a = 10
so we now have y = 10 * (b)^x
to find the factor we simply plug in one of the ordered pairs.
note that the ordered pair chosen does not effect the outcome
i chose (2,250)
we have y = 10 * (b)^x
(x,y) = (2,250)
250 = 10 * (b)^2
divide both sides by 10
25 = b^2
take the square root of both sides
5 = b
the final equation would be f(x) = 10 * (b)^x
