question 19

Multiple Choice

Choose the function that might be used as a model for the data in the scatter plot.
-

• A) Logarithmic, \(f ( x ) = a + b \ln x\)
• B) Exponential, \(\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { x } ) = \mathrm { ab } ^ { \mathrm { x } }\) or \(\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { x } ) = \mathrm { P } _ { 0 } \mathrm { e } ^ { \mathrm { kx } } , \mathrm { k } > 0\)
• C) Quadratic, \(f ( x ) = a x ^ { 2 } + b x + c\)
• D) Exponential, \(\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { x } ) = \mathrm { ab } ^ { - \mathrm { x } }\) or \(\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { x } ) = \mathrm { P } _ { 0 } \mathrm { e } ^ { - \mathrm { kx } } , \mathrm { k } > 0\)
