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

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:
Blank 1:3.915
Blank 2:1.106

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.

In terms of the water lily population change, the value 3.915 represents:

Answer:

The initial number of water lilies, approximately 4, which matches the data.

12

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
13

Solve either of the correct equations using any method. Round to the nearest whole number.D = days

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

17

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
18

and b =

Answer:

1.106

19

The value 1.106 represents:

Answer:

The daily growth factor is 1.106, meaning the water lily population grows by 10.6% each day.
