Okay, what we want to do is we actually want to determine some exponential model that will represent this data right here.
00:12
And so we know an exponential model is given by y equal to a times some base value raised to x.
00:22
In this case, our x is t.
00:24
So y is equal to a times some base value raised to t.
00:30
Okay, so we need to find out what a is and what our base is, basically.
00:36
So let's go ahead and let's focus on, you know, that where it crosses the y axis, and that is at 0 ,200.
00:47
And so we know that when t is 0, then y is 1 ,200.
00:55
1200 is equal to a times b raised to the zero.
01:00
And remember anything raised to the zero is one.
01:03
And so that means this constant is actually 1.
01:06
So now we have y is equal to 1 ,200 times base times time.
01:17
Okay.
01:19
So now what we want to do is to go ahead and come up with somehow the base...
