Question 259053: A store sells motor scooters. The table shows the number y of scooters sold during the xth year that the store has been open.
Year, x 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Number of scooters sold, y 15 20 25 36 59 71 92
dot Draw a scatter plot of the data pairs (x, ln y). Is an exponential model a good fit for the original data pairs (x, y)?
space
dot Find an exponential model for the original data. Round your answers to two decimal places.
y = (1.35)x

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I assume you can create the scatter plot.
Is an exponential model a good fit for the original data pairs (x, y)?
Yes it is.
Find an exponential model for the original data. Round your answers to two decimal places.
I got
Y = 10.94*(1.37)^x
