Exercise 16 Page 143

After plotting the points on a coordinate plane, connect them to see the type of curve that best fits them.

Graph:

Model: Exponential

Practice makes perfect
We want to determine the most appropriate model for the given data set.

(- 3,0.25), (- 2, 0.5), (-1,1), (0,2) To do so we will plot and connect the given points on a coordinate plane. Then we can see the type of curve that best fits.

We see that the curve that best fits the points is a exponential curve. Therefore, the most appropriate model for the data set is a exponential model.
