Warm Up 1. Use a calculator to perform quadratic and exponential regressions on the following data. quadratic: y ≈ 2.13x2 – 2x + 6.12 exponential: y ≈ 10.57(1.32)x
Objectives Apply functions to problem situations. Use mathematical models to make predictions.
Example 1A: Identifying Models by Using Constant Differences or Ratios Use constant differences or ratios to determine which parent function would best model the given data set. Notice that the time data are evenly spaced. Check the first differences between the heights to see if the data set is linear.
Example 1A Continued First differences 3535 35 35 . Because the first differences are a constant 35, a linear model will best model the data.
Example 1B: Identifying Models by Using Constant Differences or Ratios Notice that the time data are evenly spaced. Check the first differences between the populations. First differences –400 –384 –369 –354 Second differences 16 15 15 Neither the first nor second differences are constant. SOOOOO…..Check ratios between the volumes.
Example 1B Continued Neither the first nor second differences are constant. Check ratios between the volumes. Because the ratiosbetween the values of the dependent variable are constant, anexponential function would best model the data.
Example 1B Continued CheckA scatter plot reveals a shape similar to an exponential decay function. Write an equation
Example 1C: Identifying Models by Using Constant Differences or Ratios Notice that the time data are evenly spaced. Check the first differences between the heights. First differences 33 –11 –55 –99 Second differences –44 –44 –44
Example 1C Continued Because the second differences of the dependent variables are constant when the independent variables are evenly spaced, a quadratic function will best model the data. Check A scatter reveals a shape similar to a quadratic parent function f(x) = x2.
Check It Out! Example 1a Use constant differences or ratios to determine which parent function would best model the given data set. Notice that the data for the y-values are evenly spaced. Check the first differences between the x-values.
Check It Out! Example 1a Continued First differences 3660 84 108 Second differences 24 24 24 Because the second differences of the independent variable are constant when the dependent variables are evenly spaced, a square-root function will best model the data.

Check It Out! Example 1b Continued Neither the first nor second differences are constant. Check ratios between the values.
Check It Out! Example 1b Continued Because the ratios between the values of the dependentvariable are constant, an exponential function would best model the data. Check A scatter reveals a shape similar to an exponential decay function.
Helpful Hint To display the correlation coefficient r on some calculators, you must turn on the diagnostic mode. Press , and choose DiagnosticOn.
Example 2: Economic Application A printing company prints advertising flyers and tracks its profits. Write a function that models the given data. Step 1 Make a scatter plot of the data. The data appear to form a quadratic or exponential pattern.
Example 2 Continued Step 1 Analyze differences. First differences 60 105 137 188 220 Second differences 45 32 51 32 Because the second differences of the dependent variable are close to constant when the independent variables are evenly spaced, a quadratic function will best model the data.
Example 2 Continued Step 3 Use your graphing calculator to perform a quadratic regression. A quadratic function that models the data is f(x) = 0.002x2 + 0.007x – 11.2. The correlation r is very close to 1, which indicates a good fit.

Check It Out! Example 2 Continued Step 1 Analyze differences. First differences 31 35 39 43 47 51 Second differences 4 4 4 4 4 Because the second differences of the dependent variable are constant when the independent variables are evenly spaced, a quadratic function will best model the data.
Check It Out! Example 2 Continued Step 3 Use your graphing calculator to perform a quadratic regression. A quadratic function that models the data is f(x) = 0.5x2 + 2.5x + 8. The correlation r is 1, which indicates a good fit.
When data are not ordered or evenly spaced, you may to have to try several models to determine which best approximates the data. Graphing calculators often indicate the value of the coefficient of determination, indicated by r2 or R2. The closer the coefficient is to 1, the better the model approximates the data.
Example 3: Application The data shows the population of a small town since 1990. Using 1990 as a reference year, write a function that models the data. The data are not evenly spaced, so you cannot analyze differences or ratios.
1200 800 Population 400 2000 1990 2002 2006 1993 2005 1997 year Example 3 Continued Create a scatter plot of the data. Use 1990 as year 0. • • The data appear to bequadratic, cubic or exponential. • • • • •
