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 />

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 />
