What you'll learn

  1. Choose an appropriate model family - linear, quadratic, or exponential - from a scatter plot's form and the context
  2. Fit a function either by using a function the context supplies or by running a regression with technology
  3. Use a fitted function to predict values and solve contextual problems, stating answers with units
  4. Distinguish interpolation from extrapolation and recognize when a prediction is unreliable
