AFDA.03 The student will collect data and generate an equation for the curve (linear, quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic) of best fit to model real- world problems or applications. Students will use the best fit equation to interpolate function values, make decisions, and justify conclusions with algebraic and/or graphical models.

Activities (1)

Enter a set of data points, then derive a function to fit those points. Manipulate the function on a coordinate plane using slider bars. Learn how each constant and coefficient affects the resulting graph.
