Exercise 1 Page 592

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

Quadratic

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

(0,11), (1,5), (2,3), (3,5), (4,11) 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 parabola. Therefore, the most appropriate model for the data set is a quadratic model.
