5.11 Modeling Exponential Behavior
You became more comfortable with the fact that the data are not exactly exponential and with choosing different ways for deciding on an appropriate exponential decay factor
Practice this chapterYou became more comfortable with the fact that the data are not exactly exponential and with choosing different ways for deciding on an appropriate exponential decay factor To do so, you determined the growth factor of successive bounce heights
You processed your data and decided on an appropriate factor to quantify the bounciness of each ball. You used the given data to calculate a rebound factor and used it to write a function that models the relationship between number of bounces and bounce heights.
Be able to use exponential functions to model situations that involve exponential growth or decay; determine an appropriate model for a situation described by data.
Worked example
What does this chapter state?
- 1You became more comfortable with the fact that the data are not exactly exponential and with choosing different ways for deciding on an appropriate exponential decay factor
- 2That claim is the chapter’s own statement.
- 3Answer from the claim, not from where the chapter sits in the book.
Result: You became more comfortable with the fact that the data are not exactly exponential and with choosing different ways for deciding on an appropriate exponential decay factor
Why. The sentence is taken from this chapter’s summary or key concepts.
Answer with the meaning this chapter gives. A nearby idea from the same book is a different term.
