Question 1171310
Absolutely! Let's analyze the data and find the appropriate model.

**1. Create the Scatter Diagram:**

The scatter diagram will help us visualize the relationship between x and f(x).

```python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
f_x = [409.6, 260.4, 170.3, 110.9, 74.1, 44.4, 32.5, 19.2, 12.8, 8.4]

plt.scatter(x, f_x)
plt.xlabel('x')
plt.ylabel('f(x)')
plt.title('Scatter Diagram')
plt.grid(True)
plt.show()
```

**2. Observe the Shape:**

The scatter plot shows a decreasing trend, where the rate of decrease slows down as x increases. This suggests an **exponential decay** model.

**3. Find the Exponential Model:**

We will use the exponential regression feature to find the equation that best fits the data.

An exponential model has the form:  f(x) = a * e^(-bx)

```python
from scipy.optimize import curve_fit

def exponential_func(x, a, b):
    return a * np.exp(-b * x)

popt, pcov = curve_fit(exponential_func, x, f_x)

a_fit = popt[0]
b_fit = popt[1]

print(f"Exponential Model: f(x) = {a_fit:.5f} * e^(-{b_fit:.5f} * x)")
```

**Output:**

Exponential Model: f(x) = 630.48226 * e^(-0.43561 * x)

**4. Conclusion:**

The data is best described by an exponential decay model. The equation that models the data is:

f(x) = 630.48226 * e^(-0.43561 * x)
