Let f(t) be the capacity (in percent) at which U.S. nuclear
power plants are working at t years since 1970. Use
Quadratic regression on your calculator to find a quadratic
function that models this data. Round each coefficient to at
least 3 decimal places. BE SURE TO USE t = 0 to represent the
year 1970. Then t = 1 would be 1971, and so on:
Equation f(t) =
Use your graphing calculator to draw the graph of the model
and, in the same viewing window, the scattergram of the
data. Does the model fit the data well?
The function is a good model for the data.
The function is not a good model for the data
Estimate at what capacity U. S. nuclear power plants were
working in 2013.
% Round to the nearest whole

What is the slope for the linear function modeling high school graduations? Explain in practical terms the meaning of the slope. c. Find a formula for a linear function that models these data. d. Express, using functional notation, the number graduating from high school in 1994, and then use your formula from part c to calculate that value.arrow_forwardWhat is regression analysis? Describe the process of performing regression analysis on a graphing utility.arrow_forwardSales Barnes & Noble had annual sales of $6.8 billion in 2013 and $6.1 billion in 2015. Use the Midpoint Formula to estimate the sales in 2014. Assume that the annual sales followed a linear pattern.arrow_forward
- Tuition at American Public Universities This is a continuation of Exercise 6. The following table shows the average yearly in-state tuition and required fees, in dollars, charged by four-year American public universities in the school year ending in the given year. Date Average tuition 2012 8318 2013 8595 2014 8872 2015 9149 2016 9426 a. Show that these data can be modeled by a linear function, and find its formula. b. What is the slope for the linear function modeling tuition and required fees for public universities? c. What is the slope of the linear function modeling tuition and required fees for private universities? Note: See Exercise 6. d. Explain what the information in parts b and c tells you about the rate of increase in tuition in public versus private institutions. e. Which type of institution shows the larger percentage increase from 2015 to 2016? 6. Tuition at American Private Universities The following table shows the average yearly tuition and required fees, in dollars, charged by four-year American private nonprofit universities in the school year ending in the given year. Date Average tuition 2012 27, 870 2013 29, 004 2014 30, 138 2015 31, 272 2016 32, 406 a. Show that these data can be modeled by a linear function, and find its formula. b. Plot the data points and add the graph of the linear formula you found in part a. c. What prediction does this formula give for average tuition and fees at four-year American private nonprofit universities for the academic year ending in 2021?arrow_forwardA global data plan costs $25 a month for the first 100 megabytes and $20 for each additional 100 megabytes (or portion thereof). Draw a graph of the cost C (in dollars) as a function of the number of megabytes x used per month.arrow_forwardThe data in the given Table indicate that between the ages of 1 and 11, the human brain does not grow linearly, or steadily. A scatter plot for the data is shown in the given Figure. What type of function would be a good choice for modeling the data?arrow_forward
