The data can be modeled by $$ f(x)=782 x+6564 \text { and } g(x)=6875 e^{0.077 x} \text {, } $$ in which \(f(x)\) and \(g(x)\) represent the average cost of a family health insurance plan \(x\) years after 2000. Use these functions to solve Exercises 33-34. Where necessary, round answers to the nearest whole dollar. a. According to the linear model, what was the average cost of a family health insurance plan in 2008 ? b. According to the exponential model, what was the average cost of a family health insurance plan in 2008 ? c. Which function is a better model for the data in 2008 ?
Use a table of coordinates to graph each exponential function. Begin by selecting \(-2,-1,0,1\), and 2 for \(x\). \(f(x)=5^{x}\)
Each group member should consult an almanac, newspaper, magazine, or the Internet to find data that can be modeled by linear, exponential, logarithmic, or quadratic functions. Group members should select the two sets of data that are most interesting and relevant. Then consult a person who is familiar with graphing calculators to show you how to obtain a function that best fits each set of data. Once you have these functions, each group member should make one prediction based on one of the models, and then discuss a consequence of this prediction. What factors might change the accuracy of the prediction?
Graph each linear inequality. \(2 y-x>4\)
In Exercises 15-22, a. Create a scatter plot for the data in each table. b. Use the shape of the scatter plot to determine if the data are best modeled by a linear function, an exponential function, a logarithmic function, or a quadratic function. $$ \begin{array}{|r|r|} \hline x & y \\ \hline 0 & 0 \\ \hline 9 & 1 \\ \hline 16 & 1.2 \\ \hline 19 & 1.3 \\ \hline 25 & 1.4 \\ \hline \end{array} $$
