Essay

The table below shows the population of a city (in millions) in each year during the period 2010-2015. Using the number of years since 2010 as the independent variable, find the regression equation of the best model. Assume that the model is to be used only for the scope of the given data, and consider only linear, quadratic, logarithmic, exponential, and power models. Include the type of model and the equation for the model you find.
$\begin{array} { | l | l | l | l | l | l | l | } \hline \text { Year } & 2010 & 2011 & 2012 & 2013 & 2014 & 2015 \\\hline \text { Population(millions) } & 1.08 & 1.37 & 1.68 & 2.19 & 2.73 & 3.34 \\\hline\end{array}$
