To test for the biodiversity of trees in a tropical rain forest, biologists collected data in the Pasoh Forest Reserve of Malaysia. The table below shows the number of tree species S found for a given area A in the rain forest.† Tree species of the Pasoh Forest of Malaysia Area (m2) Observed number of species 3.81 3 7.63 3 15.26 12 30.52 13 61.04 31 122.07 70 244.14 112 488.28 134 976.56 236 (a) Use a graphing calculator to find a power function of the form S = aAb that models the number of tree species S that are in an area of size A.
