6. Nonlinear Models
Sign In
Recall the general form of a power function.
y=ax^b
We are asked to complete the given statement.
A power model has the form . |
Sometimes, the data can be modeled by a power function y= ax^b. The example scatter plot can be modeled by y= 0.3x^3.
This model is called the power model
because it describes a mathematical relationship where one variable is proportional to a power of another variable. This model is commonly used in physics or economics capturing nonlinear relationships like scaling. We can now complete the given statement.
A power model has the form y=ax^b. |
