The length of a stalactite (in mm) has been measured at the beginning of every fourth year since the year 2000. The data through 2016 is shown below, where t is in years after the beginning of the year 2000. t Length (mm) 0 99 4 104 12 114 16 119 110 Use the data to construct a scatter plot, then complete the following. 1) Which of the following best describes the pattern? O A. Linear (y = mx + b) OB. Exponential (y=a.b*) OC. с Logistic 1+ a - bx 2) Using your calculator and the best of the four methods above, find a model, L(t), that estimates the length of the stalactite t years after 2000. ROUND TO TWO DECIMAL PLACES. L(t) = 3) Use your rounded answer from part 2 to complete the following. ROUND TO TWO DECIMAL PLACES Acording to the model, at the beginning of the year 2005, the stalactite was approximately mm long, and it was growing at a rate of approximately mm per year.
