into the field and document the height of the corn (in cm) and how many weeks it has been since the corn
was planted. He plotted the points below.
He is looking for a function that models his data. Since the trend of the data is increasing and convex, he
found an increasing convex exponential model and an increasing convex quadratic model.
Which of the following functions fits the data better?
Choose 1 answer:
Function A: y = 7.2
B
Function B: y = 1202 – 12x + 18
Ilse the function that you chose to predict the height of the corn 6 weeks after it has been planted. Round
