Question 851752: 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 16 31 41 51 88 98
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)?
Find an exponential model for the original data. Round your answers to two decimal places.
y= (1.36)^x
