b.
Answer to Problem 15PS
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The table shows the colonial population estimates of the American colonies.
Calculation:
Calculate quadratic model,
Now with the use of
Hence, the required quadratic model is
c.

c.
Answer to Problem 15PS
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The table shows the colonial population estimates of the American colonies.
Calculation:
Use the graphing utility to plot the data and the models from parts
d.
Identify the model, better fit for the data.
d.
Answer to Problem 15PS
Exponential model is well fitted for the data.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The table shows the colonial population estimates of the American colonies.
Predict the population of the United States in
Calculation:
From the graph we can say that exponential model is well fitted for the data, we can use this model to predict population of the United States in
Hence, exponential model is well fitted for the data.
