that live in an area. The data<br />

below were collected by a local<br />

conservation organization. It<br />

indicates the number of deer<br />

estimated to be living in the area<br />

over a five-year period. Determine<br />

which kind of function best<br />

models the data. Write an<br />

equation to model the data.<br />

exponential; y ≠ 90 ? 0.77 x<br />

While real-world data seldom fall exactly into linear, exponential, or quadratic<br />

patterns, you can find a best-possible model.<br />

EXAMPLE Real-World Problem Solving<br />

Zoology Suppose you are studying frogs that live in a<br />

nearby wetland area. The data at the right were collected by<br />

a local conservation organization. They indicate the number<br />

of frogs estimated to be living in the wetland area over a<br />

five-year period. Determine which kind of function best<br />

models the data. Write an equation to model the data.<br />

Step 1 Graph the data to decide which model is<br />

most appropriate.<br />

The graph curves, and it does not look<br />

quadratic. It may be exponential.<br />

The population of frogs is roughly 0.84 times its value the previous year.<br />

Step 3 Write an exponential model.<br />

Relate y = a ? b x<br />

Define Let a = the initial value, 120.<br />

Let b = the decay factor, 0.84.<br />

Write y = 120 ? 0.84 x<br />

Ask students how to choose a<br />

linear, quadratic, or exponential<br />

model for data. First graph the<br />

data to see if the graph is linear<br />

or if it curves. Then look for a<br />

best fit model.<br />
