Determine whether each function is an example of exponential growth or decay. Then find the y-intercept.
The article “Modeling of Urban Area Stop-andGo Traffic Noise” presents measurements of traffic noise, in dBA, from 10 locations in Bangkok, Thailand. Measurements, presented in the following table, were made at each location, in both the acceleration and deceleration lanes.
\(\begin{array}{|c|c|}\hline \text{Location} & \text{Acceleration} & \text{Decelaration} \\ \hline 1 & 78.1 & 78.6 \\ \hline 2 & 78.1 & 80.0 \\ \hline 3 & 79.6 & 79.3 \\ \hline 4 & 81.0 & 79.1 \\ \hline 5 & 78.7 & 78.2 \\ \hline 6 & 78.1 & 78.0 \\ \hline 7 & 78.6 & 78.6 \\ \hline 8 & 78.5 & 78.8 \\ \hline 9 & 78.4 & 78.0 \\ \hline 10 & 79.6 & 78.4 \\ \hline \end{array}\)
Can you conclude that there is a difference in the mean noise levels between acceleration and deceleration lanes?
Solve the following system of linear equations in two variables by Substitution method.
The annual sales S (in millions of dollars) for the Perrigo Company from 2004 through 2010 are shown in the table.
a) Use a graphing utility to create a scatter plot of the data. Let t represent the year, with t=4 corresponding to 2004. b) Use the regression feature of the graphing utility to find an exponential model for the data. Use the Inverse Property
