The table shows the estimated number of deer living in a forest over a five-year period. Which type of function best models the data? Write an equation to model the data.


Year Estimated Population

0 100

1 79

2 62

3 49

4 39

Alinear; y = 0.79x + 100
Bquadratic; y = 100x2 + 0.79
Cexponential; y = 100 * 0.79x
Dquadratic; y = 0.79x2 + 100

An exponential function best models the data.
100 = 100 0.79^0 = 100 1
79 = 100 0.79^1 = 100 0.79
62 = 100 0.79^2
49 = 100 0.79^3
39 = 100 0.79^4
Answer:
C ) exponential :  y = 100 0.79^x
