- Use a graphing utility to find an exponential regression formula f(x) and a logarithmic regression formula g(x) for the points (1.5,1.5) and (8.5,8.5). Round all numbers to 6 decimal places. Graph the points and both formulas along with the line y=x on the same axis. Make a conjecture about the relationship of the regression formulas.arrow_forwardConsider the function given by where g(x) is a differentiable function. a) Use logarithmic derivation and get an expression for the derivative of y. b) Using what { g(-2) = 1 e g'(-2) = 2/5. find the derivative of y evaluated at x=−2. Simplify your answer and don't make approximations.arrow_forwardInverse hyperbolic tangent Recall that the inverse hyperbolic tangent is defined as y = tanh-1 x⇔x = tanh y, for -1 < x < 1 and all real y. Solve x = tanh y for y to express the formula for tanh-1 x in terms of logarithms.arrow_forward
