Activity Overview
In this activity, students perform exponential regression on a data set.
Before the Activity
Use the TI Connect™ and the TI Connectivity Cable to transfer data from the computer to the calculator
See the attached PDF file for detailed instructions for this activity
Print pages 1 - 5 from the attached PDF file for your class
During the Activity
Distribute the pages to the class.
Follow the Activity procedures:
Set up the calculator as explained in the activity to find the exponential regression of the given data
Change the base of the regression equation, and check that the regression equation with the base 'e' is the same equation
Enter the desired equation in the graphing editor and plot a graph
After the Activity
Students answer the questions on the activity sheet.
Review student results:
As a class, discuss questions that appeared to be more challenging
Re-teach concepts as necessary
