Question

Write an exponential model given the points ( 7, 12 ) and ( 8, 25 ). Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Answer:

The exponential model is $y = 0.07\cdot e^{0.73\cdot x}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential model can be modelled by the following mathematical expression:

$y = A\cdot e^{B\cdot x}$ (1)

Where:

$x$ - Independent variable.

$y$ - Dependent variable.

$A, B$ - Coefficients.

If we know that $(x_{1}, y_{1}) = (7,12)$ and $(x_{2}, y_{2}) = (8,25)$, then we get the following system of equations:

$A\cdot e^{7\cdot B} = 12$ (2)

$A\cdot e^{8\cdot B} = 25$ (3)

If we divide (3) by (2), we calculate the value of $B$:

$e^{B}=\frac{25}{12}$

$B = \ln \frac{25}{12}$

$B \approx 0.734$

And by (2), we determine the value of $A$:

$A = 12\cdot e^{-7\cdot B}$

$A = 0.0704$

The exponential model is $y = 0.07\cdot e^{0.73\cdot x}$.
