Exponential and Logarithmic Models · Exercise 18

Enter the data from each table into a graphing calculator and graph the resulting scatter plots. Determine whether the data from the table could represent a function that is linear, exponential, or logarithmic.

$$\begin{array}{cc}x& f\left(x\right)\\ \text{1}& \text{2.4}\\ \text{2}& \text{2.88}\\ \text{3}& \text{3.456}\\ \text{4}& \text{4.147}\\ \text{5}& \text{4.977}\\ \text{6}& \text{5.972}\\ \text{7}& \text{7.166}\\ \text{8}& \text{8.6}\\ \text{9}& \text{10.32}\\ \text{10}& \text{12.383}\end{array}$$
