Multiple Choice

Choose the function that might be used as a model for the data in the scatter plot.
-

A) Polynomial, not quadratic
B) Logarithmic, $\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { x } ) = \mathrm { a } + \mathrm { b } \ln \mathrm { x }$
C) Quadratic, $f ( x ) = a x ^ { 2 } + b x + c$
D) Exponential, $\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { x } ) = \mathrm { ab } ^ { \mathrm { x } }$ or $\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { x } ) = \mathrm { P } _ { 0 } \mathrm { e } ^ { \mathrm { kx } } , \mathrm { k } > 0$
