Answer to Problem 22E
The function that models the given data is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given as function as shown below,
Formula used:
Calculation:
Write the data in a table then find the first and second differences, when necessary, to have:
The data has no constant first and not second difference. Note that there is a common ratio of 0.5 that you can multiply to get the next y-value. Therefore the data must represent an exponential function with a base of 0.5 or
An equation of the exponential function with a base of
Use any point, say (0, 1), to find the value of a:
Substitute the value of a into the equation to have:
Therefore the function that models the given data is
Conclusion:
The function that models the given data is
