In Example 1, in what year will the amount spent on mobile online advertising be about $300 billion?
The amount S (in billions of dollars) spent in the United States on mobile online advertising in the years 2010 through 2014 are shown in the table. A scatter plot of the data is shown at the right.
Year | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 |
Advertising Spending | 0.6 | 1.6 | 3.4 | 7.1 | 12.5 |

- U.S. Population The U.S. Constitution requires a census every 10 years. The census data for 17902010 are given in the table. a Make a scatter plot of the data. b Use a calculator to find an exponential model for the data. c Use your model to predict the population at the 2020 census. d Use your model to estimate the population in 1965.

He measures the amount of iodine-131 in a sample solution every 8 hours. His data are shown in the table below. a Make a scatter plot of the data. b Use a calculator to find an exponential model. c Use your model to find the half-life of iodine-131.
