Follow the same steps as in Examples 3 and 4.
Example 3: y=14.14(1.41)^x
Example 4: y=10.28(1.5)^x
Let's look at the given table.
Year, x | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Number of trampolines, y | 15 | 23 | 40 | 52 | 80 | 105 | 140 |
We will repeat the steps in Examples 3 and 4 using the table above.
We will begin by making a scatter plot of the data.
(I): .LHS /b^3.=.RHS /b^3.
(I): Rearrange equation
(II): a= 40/b^3
(II): a/c* b = a* b/c
(II): a^m/a^n= a^(m-n)
(II): .LHS /40.=.RHS /40.
(II): sqrt(LHS)=sqrt(RHS)
(II): Rearrange equation
(II): Round to 2 decimal place(s)
(I): b= 1.41
(I): Calculate power
(I): Calculate quotient
We will first create a table of data pairs (x,ln y).
Year, x | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Number of trampolines, y | 15 | 23 | 40 | 52 | 80 | 105 | 140 |
ln y | 2.71 | 3.14 | 3.69 | 3.95 | 4.38 | 4.65 | 4.94 |
Next, we will plot the transformed points.
Substitute ( 2,3.14) & ( 4,3.95)
Subtract terms
Calculate quotient
Distribute 0.405
LHS+3.14=RHS+3.14
e^(LHS)=e^(RHS)
a = e^(ln(a))
a^(m+n)=a^m*a^n
(a^m)^n=a^(m* n)
Calculate power
