You can find online regression calculators at this site in the fourth column.

To compare exponential and linear growth, check out this video.

For some more exponential growth/decay word problems, check out this video.

For even more exponential word problems, check out this video, this video, and the ones in the sidebar.

For an example of a logarithmic scale, check out this video.

Before you panic about the number of questions... There are three graphing problems after #18. So there's really about 20 questions.

Categorize each situation by the type of function that would be the best model. You may use the internet as a resource

  • The cases of a virus after some time spreading

  • The total earnings collected after some time working at a certain wage

  • A scale describing the intensity of earthquakes

  • The value of a car after some years depreciating

  • The amount of gas left in a tank after some miles driving

  • The height of a ball after some time launched from a cannon

  • The amount of a radioactive material after some time decaying

  • The value of a savings account after some years collecting interest

  • Linear

  • Quadratic

  • Exponential Growth

  • Exponential Decay

  • Logarithmic

Categorize the situations according to the model best suited for them. Feel free to look up some equations.

  • the value of a savings account after some time collecting interest

  • the number of zombies some time after the first outbreak

  • the distance of a car from the starting line after some time assuming constant acceleration

  • the acceleration felt in a car taking a turn at some speed

  • a rating of intensity of a sound according to human perception

  • the temperature of a cake after some time being pulled out of the hot oven

  • a rating of intensity of an acid based on the concentration of ions

  • the amount of candy in my classroom after some number of days (assuming I give roughly the same number of treats each day)

  • Linear

  • Quadratic

  • Exponential Growth

  • Exponential Decay

  • Logarithmic

Put the following functions in decreasing order based on their values as x \rightarrow \infty

Hint: It may help to graph in Desmos and zoom out.

  1. f(x) = (\frac{4}{3})^{2x}

  2. f(x) = (\frac{4}{3})^{-2x}

  3. f(x) = (\frac{4}{3})^{\frac{1}{2}x}

  4. f(x) = 22x^{2}

  5. f(x) = 222x^{3}

  6. f(x) = 222x^{2}

  7. f(x) = (\frac{3}{4})^{3x}

The table shows the value of a car during certain years. Using an expoential model, write an equation for the curve of best fit, then estimate the value of the car in 2016 (x=8).

What is the value of the car in 2016, in dollars?

Use four decimal places for the base.

Enter your answer as a number rounded to two decimal places. For example, if your answer were $12.366, you would enter "12.37".

The table below shows the weights of five females of the same height (5'5") along with their body mass index, BMI. Using a logarithmic model, write an equation for the curve of best fit, then estimate the BMI of a female that weighs 130 pounds.

The notes of a musical scale and their frequencies are given in the table below. Find the model that would best fit the data, and use the model to estimate the frequency of the note G (x= 7)
