What function can be used to model data pairs that have a common ratio? linear quadratic exponential none of the above

OpenStudy (amistre64):

do not delete questions that have answers please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (amistre64):

its rude to those who gave answers, its rude to those who could have used it to study by, and its just plain rude in general ... thnx

np

A linear equation like y=ax, here \[\frac{y}{x}=a\] so y and x are in the ratio a:1 Can you tell what's the answer

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i was working up a matrix to get the coeffs of that last one to test a quadratic to: y = 13/2 x^2 + 31/2 x + 11 but i aint got the other points to test it with ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can give them to u

OpenStudy (amistre64):

id appreciate it, just so i can have some closure with it lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol ok one sec

(–3, 18), (–2, 6), (–1, 2), (0, 11), and (1, 27)

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=y+%3D+13%2F2+x%5E2+%2B+31%2F2+x+%2B+11%2Cx%3D-3 when x=-3, y=23; when x=1, y=33 but the other 3 fit to the quadratic

OpenStudy (amistre64):

so, even tho it appears in a u shape; and it might be best fit as a quadratic, it is not a perfect fit

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the end :)
