The table lists the Consumer Price Index for all U.S. urban consumers (CPI-U) with 1982–1984 = 100 for selected years between 1960 and 2008.

Consumer Price Index for All U.S.
Urban Consumers
1982–1984 = 100
Year CPI-U, C
1960 29.6
1970 38.8
1980 82.4
1990 130.7
2000 172.2
2005 195.3
2008 215.3


(b) Use the end behavior to choose the better model and explain why.
quadratic   exponential     logarithmic

Write the function for the better model that gives the CPI (based on a CPI = 100 for 1982-1984) for all U.S. urban consumers, where t is the number of years since 1960, with data from
0 ≤ t ≤ 48.
(Round all numerical values to three decimal places.)
