Question

Try to Create a good model to describe this growth:

1991-----27
1992-----36
1993-----45
1994-----181
1995-----306
1996-----1093
1997-----2459

Answer 1

1991-----27
1992-----36
1993-----45
1994-----181
1995-----306
1996-----1093
1997-----2459

Answer 2

by first guess would be to take the ration of \(\frac{36}{27}=\frac{4}{3}\) and see if it looks like every year the populations grows by factor of \(\frac{4}{3}\)

Answer 3

I know im suppose to somehow use the stats functions on my graph calc

Answer 4

oh, in any case i was wrong
that was just for the first year, growth changes after that

Answer 5

technology is a wonderful thing

Answer 6

but we're supposed to do something to make it linear, then work from that

Answer 7

this sure as hell is not linear

Answer 8

we're supposed to make the x axis log or somthing...
