What exponential function is best fit for the data table? x f(x) 3 10 4 16 5 28 a) f(x) = 3(2)x − 2 + 4 b) f(x) = 3(2)x − 2 − 4 c) f(x) = 1/3(2)x − 2 + 4 d) f(x) = 1/3(2)x − 2 − 4

Hence, the exponential function that best fits the data is:

 (Option A)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a set of values as:

x        f(x)

3        10

4        16

5        28

so we will put the value of x=3 in each of the given options and check which function gives the value 10.

i.e. at x=3 which function f(x)=10.

B)

when x=3.

Hence, option B is incorrect.

C)

when x=3

Hence, option C is incorrect.

D)

when x=3

Hence, option D is incorrect.

A)

when x=3.

similarly A option holds for other values of x as well.

Hence, option A is correct.

Hence, the exponential function that best fits the data is:

step-by-step explanation:

company a

step-by-step explanation:

using the linear regression models , it is found that company a   pays about $14 more. but using the same regression (linear) company b pays about $10 more.

so company a pays more than b
