For the following exercises, enter the data from each table into a graphing calculator and graph the resulting scatter plots. Determine whether the data from the table would likely represent a function that is linear, exponential, or logarithmic. $$\begin{array}{|c|c|}\hline x & 0.5 & 1 & 3 & 5 & 7 & 10 & 12 & 13 & 15 & 17 & 20 \\ \hline f(x) & 18.05 & 17 & 15.33 & 14.55 & 4.04 & 13.5 & 13.22 & 13.1 & 12.88 & 12.69 & 12.45 \\ \hline \end{array}$$

In determining what model is represented by a set of points, we follow these steps:
1. Plot the points on the graph.
2, Determine whether it is one of these: — if the points do not lie on a straight line, then it is not a linear model.
~ if after drawing a straight line between two points most of the points in between lie above the line, then it isa logarithmic model.
— if after drawing a straight line between two points most of the points in between lie below the line, then it is a exponential model.
