Fitting Exponential Models to Data · Review Exercise 126

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

$$\begin{array}{cc}\text{x}& \text{f(x)}\\ \text{1}& \text{3.05}\\ \text{2}& \text{4.42}\\ \text{3}& \text{6.4}\\ \text{4}& \text{9.28}\\ \text{5}& \text{13.46}\\ \text{6}& \text{19.52}\\ \text{7}& \text{28.3}\\ \text{8}& \text{41.04}\\ \text{9}& \text{59.5}\\ \text{10}& \text{86.28}\end{array}$$

Its source prints no answer for this problem, so there's nothing to check against.
