Find the Exponential Function F That Models This Data $\begin{array}{r|rrrr}\mathrm{x} & 2 & 27 & 58 & 82 \\\hline \mathrm{y} & 13.2 & 40.5 & 82.7 & 172\end{array}$

question 72

Multiple Choice

Find the exponential function f that models this data. Round the coefficients to the nearest hundredth. $\begin{array}{r|rrrr}\mathrm{x} & 2 & 27 & 58 & 82 \\\hline \mathrm{y} & 13.2 & 40.5 & 82.7 & 172\end{array}$

• A) \(f ( x ) = ( 14.21 ) ( 1.03 ) ^ { x }\)
• B) \(f ( x ) = ( 0.62 ) ( 7.58 ) ^ { x }\)
• C) \(f ( x ) = ( 13.21 ) ( 1.03 ) ^ { x }\)
• D) \(f ( x ) = ( 7.58 ) ( 0.62 ) ^ { x }\)
