- 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_forward2)Find the first and second derivative of the function for x greater than zero. f(x)= ln(x) f '(x) = f ''(x) = i)Is the first derivative positive or negative? ii)Is the second derivative positive or negative? iii)Which of the following describes the graph of y = ln x?
