6.8 Exercise 70

Avg difficulty 2.5

Use a graphing utility to find an exponential regression formula f(x) f \left(x\right) and a logarithmic regression formula g(x) g \left(x\right) for the points ( 1.5,1.5 ) \left(1.5 , 1.5\right) and ( 8.5,8.5 ). \left(8.5 , \text{8}.\text{5}\right) . Round all numbers to 6 decimal places. Graph the points and both formulas along with the line y=x y = x on the same axis. Make a conjecture about the relationship of the regression formulas.
