Exercise 10 Page 592

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. (-1,-5 23), (0, - 5), (2,3), (3,27)

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 an exponential curve. Therefore, the most appropriate model for the data set is an exponential model. Let's now remove the curve and leave only the given points.
