Here are five different functional models that might representthe growth of the number of Zika cases, where x representsthe week number, and y represents the number of cumulativecases.
1. Linear y = 258.74x
2. Logarithmic y=937.37ln(x)-202.03
3. Quadratic y = 31.357x ^(2 )+134.93x − 122
4. Power y = 55.278x ^2.0101
5. Exponential y=47.399e^(0.6737x)
For each function model listed, create a graph for 1 ≤x ≤ 5, along with the Zika case data from Step 2. Be sureyour graphs clearly label the function and the actual data.
Step 2 that the question is referring to is
Below is data of the weekly number of suspected Zika cases inFrench Polynesia in 2013.Plot the data on the graph below.
Week # | New Cases | Cumulative Cases |
1 | 49 | 49 |
2 | 191 | 240 |
3 | 369 | 609 |
4 | 331 | 940 |
5 | 333 | 1273 |
