The graph to the right shows what you should have gotten on the regression calculator. Check all statements below that accurately describe the regression equation.

A
Some points do not lie on the regression curve, so it is not a good model.
B
Most points lie on or near the regression curve, so it is a good model.
C
The equation can be used to analyze the population growth, and to estimate values outside of what was collected.

Which two equations below could you solve to find D, the number of days it takes the water lily population to double?

A
2 = 3.915(1.106)D
B
7.830 = 3.915(1.106)D
C
7.830 = 3.915(2)D
D
2 = 1.106D

The pond can hold 400 water lilies. By what day will the pond be full? Write and solve an equation.The pond will be full by the end of day .

Answer:

46

14

Which solution method did you use?

A
Logarithms
B
Graphing y = 3.915(1.106)x and tracing
C
Graphing y = 3.915(1.106)x and y = 400, then finding the x-value of the intersection

Type the data that you collected (shown right) into the regression calculator. Be sure to choose a good window setting! The general form of an exponential function is y = abx. Use the regression calculator to find the values of a and b for the water lily population growth. Round to the nearest thousandth.

Answers:
a =:3.915
and b =:1.106

Did the water lilies double?

Answers:
Selection 1:Yes
Selection 2:Approximately
18

By the 46th day, there are 400 water lilies in the pond. The estimate you made

A
close to 46 (or exactly right) because it was estimated well.
B
too low because the quick exponential growth was not accounted for.
C
too high because the exponential growth was overestimated.
