Question

have a quick question/ need help with my math project.

Answer 1

need to find which equation would be best for each graph ( linear, quadratic, or power equation) I'm unsure how to find the best one.

Answer 2

linear

quadratic

power

Answer 3

THANK YOU!!!

Answer 4

just rough examples

Answer 5

linear- line, anything that is bascially a straight line
quadratic- anything that has a single curve, goes up and then goes down, or vice versa
power, something to goes to infinity and then goes to a certain value the other way

Answer 6

I say linear

Answer 7

not enough information to make an accurate guess, since quadratic may be possible

but i would agree with linear for just the given information

Answer 8

is power definitely not possible

Answer 9

well, again, not enough information to make a good guess,
but the overall trend does not seem to be going towards a specific value and the other side going towards negative or positive infinity

Answer 10

this better

Answer 11

no no, by not enough information, i mean, you would need more data points to be more sure

Answer 12

of any trend

Answer 13

Linear is first one

Answer 14

okay so should part of the question is that I have to find more y values with given x values like 16, 18 etc should I plug those in to all three equations before deciding?

Answer 15

well, with the current data given, then trend mostly seems linear,

if you decided to include additional information, then you would made an additional guess to what the trend looks like, not go back and change your linear guess

Answer 16

Okay understood. Thank you so much you were a big help!!

Answer 17

the thing about scatterplots and determining trend is, its just a complete guess, so there's no right or wrong answer, just how you interpet it
