Graphing Calculator - Exponential Regression
Press STAT then EDIT 1. Type in the values in List 1 (x values)and List 2 (y values).
Then STAT, move over to CALC and press 0. You will get valuesfor a, b, rand r2. The values of aand bgo into the equationy=a*b^x or y=abx.
When you use a graphing utility the value of MAY appear.
This is called the correlation coefficient and is a measure of
how well the model fits the data. The value of is such that

the y values decrease. The closer that is to -1 or 1, the better the
model fits the

Find the exponential regression equation on your calculator usingthe data below. The data is for the population of black flies
which increases exponentially in a favorable lab environment.
L1 is the number of weeks and L2 is for the number of black
flies in the laboratory experiment.
See the next screen for continuation of example.

Example-Graphing Calculator
Continuing with this same data, we are now going to graph the equationthat we got earlier in this exercise and we are going to graph the data.
First make certain that your window is large enough so that you will
be able to see the graphed points.
Second, go to STAT PLOT and press ENTER on #1. Press ENTER
on the word "On", for type of graph use the first one, make Xlist: L1,and Ylist:L2. Use either mark for the last option.
Now return to the graph and see the data.
Go to Y= and type in the equation that you got on the previous screen.
Return to the graph and observe how close the curve is to the actual data.

How can we obtain a logarithmic function that models
the data? A graphing utility can be used to obtain a logarithmic
model of the form y=a+b ln x. Because the domain of the
logarithmic function is the set of positive numbers, zero must
not be a value for x.
The technique for finding that logarithmic equation is the same
as for finding the exponential equation on a graphing calculator.
On the STAT, CALC menu choose 9 for Logarithmic Regression.
