LESSON
Choosing Among Linear, Quadratic, and Exponential Models
14-2
Practice and Problem Solving: C
A pot of boiling water is allowed to cool for 50 minutes. The table
below shows the temperature of the water as it cools. Use the table
for the problems that follow. Round all answers to the nearest
thousandth.

Temperature of Water (y), in degrees Celsius,


after cooling for x minutes
x 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50
y 100 75 57 44 34 26 21 17 14 11 10

1. Use a graphing calculator to find a linear regression


equation for this data.

2. Graph the linear model along with the data. Does it


seem like the model is a good fit for the data?

3. Use a graphing calculator to find a quadratic regression


equation for this data.

4. Graph the quadratic model along with the data. Does it


seem like the model is a good fit for the data?

5. Use a graphing calculator to find an exponential


regression equation for this data.

6. Graph the exponential model along with the data. Does


it seem like the model is a good fit for the data?

7. Use each regression model to estimate the temperature of the water


after 55 minutes. Which estimation seems the most likely?
