Which of the following exponential regression equations best fits the data shown below

Step-by-step explanation:

The quickest way is probably to do some direct substitution.

First, let's try f(0).

The values of y predicted by the four equations are, respectively, 3.14, 5.32. 10.84, and 8.46.

It looks like C and D are the closest to the observed data.

Now, let's try f(4) on C and D.

C: 10.84(1.77)⁴ = 10.84 × 9.815 = 106.4

D:  8.46(3.51)⁴ =    8.46 × 151.4 = 1284

The best curve is

if you need just tell me and i will come to the rescue.

step-by-step explanation:

yes.. it's proven to be 36.
