PPT-Fitting Exponential Functions to Data

All slides in this presentations are based on the book Functions Data and Models SP Gordon and F S Gordon ISBN 9780883857670 Fitting Data to An Exponential Function Although Linear Regression is a powerful tool not all relationships between two quantities are linear See scatterplots in figure 528. Exponential Growth Functions. If a quantity increases by the same proportion . r. in each unit of time, then the quantity displays exponential growth and can be modeled by the . equation. Where. C = initial amount. Exponential Function. f(x) = a. x. . for any positive number . a. other than one.. Examples. What are the domain and range of. . y = 2(3. x. ) – 4?. What are the. roots of . 0 =5 – 2.5. x. ?. Reva . Narasimhan. Associate Professor of Mathematics . Kean University, . NJ. www.mymathspace.net/presentations. Overview. Introduction . Why functions?.

Use calculators to calculate graphing points. We know:. 2. 3. =. 8. and. 2. 4. =. 16. But, for what value of . x. does. 2. x. = 10?. To solve for an exponent, mathematicians defined . logarithms. .. Since 10 is between 8 and 16, . x. must be between 3 and 4.. Section 3-1. The . exponential function f. with base . a. is defined by. . f. (. x. ) = . a. x. where . a. > 0, . a. .  1, and . x. is any real number.. For instance, . . f. (. x. ) = 3. Date: ______________. Warm-Up.
