Answer to Problem 24PPE
The exponential function
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A conservation organization collected the data on the number of frogs in a local wetland as shown below:
Graph the data:
The graph seems to be exponential or quadratic.
Test for common ratio:
The y-values have a common ratio of
Write an exponential model:
The exponential model is given by
The graph passes through
Thus,
The graph also passes through
Therefore,
Hence, the exponential model is given by
