You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I would recommend
1> putting these columns into an Excel Spreadsheet
x y
1 3
2 5
3 9
4 17
5 33
2> Do a scatter plot in Excel (HIghlight the two columns, Select Insert/Scatter Plot)
and
3> Let Excel generate the trend line that is the closest approximation.
Select Chart - Select Layout/trend Line Options. Choose and Opt Formula
Appears
y+=+1.5545e%5E%280.602x%29 is the closest
.
