Lesson 3b <strong>–</strong> More Exponential Functions<br />

Mini-Lesson<br />

Problem 9<br />

YOU TRY <strong>–</strong> WRITING EXPONENTIAL MODELS USING EXP<br />

REGRESSION<br />

Determine the exponential regression equation that models the data below:<br />

X 0 1 2 4 6 9 12 16<br />

y 125 75 50 32 22 16 10 5.7<br />

When you write your final equation, round “a” to 1 decimal place and “b” to three decimal<br />

places.<br />

a) Write final exponential regression equation here: ____________________________<br />

[Note: You may think it strange that your equation does NOT use 125 as the “a” value. That<br />

is because of the regression process used by your calculator.]<br />

b) What is the rate of decay (as a %) for this equation? _________________________<br />

c) Using your equation from part a, determine y when x = 20 and show your work here. Write<br />

the corresponding ordered pair result. [Hint: This is a “Given Input, Find Output” problem]<br />

d) Using your equation from part a, determine x when y = 28 and show your work here. Write<br />

the corresponding ordered pair result. [Hint: This is a “Given Output, Find Input” problem]<br />

e) Using your equation from part a), set up and solve the halving equation. What solution<br />

method did you use?<br />

HAVLING EQUATION: ________________<br />

HALVING TIME: ______________<br />
