Modeling with Exponential and Logistic Functions

Some of the homework problems involve regression. Here is a document that will remind you how to do them on the calculator. The example uses a quadratic but I have faith in your ability to extend the information to the exponential and logistic regressions.

HW 11/19 p.262-263/51-58 and p.271-273/12-15, 21-33 by 3's, 39, 42, 45, 58-61

Going towards Rational Functions - polynomial fractions

The last bit of the chapter concerns rational functions - fractions with polynomials in the numerator and denominator. Finding the factors and zeros of the polynomials becomes important for describing the behavior of the function as a whole.
