The curve of best fit to model the data is given below. y=18,582(0.90)^x use the exponential model to complete the following statements. round to the nearest whole number, if necessary. there were visitors on the opening weekend. there were approximately visitors on the 9th weekend. the number of visitors was about 15,051 after weekends.

1) There were 18582 visitors on the opening weekend.

2) There were approximately 7199 visitors on the 9th weekend.

3) The number of visitors was about 15,051 after 2 weekends. 

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The curve of best fit to model the data is given below.  

To find : Complete the statements,

1) There were _____ visitors on the opening weekend.

2) There were approximately _____ visitors on the 9th weekend.

3) The number of visitors was about 15,051 after ______ weekends.

Solution :

is the exponential equation: 

where, y is the number of visitors and x are the weekends since opening

1. Since the opening weekend is the day of the the park's opening.

So, replace x=0 in our exponential equation to get the number of visitors on the opening weekend:

Therefore, There were 18582 visitors on the opening weekend.

2. To find the approximate number of visitors on the ninth weekend.

We replace x=9  in our exponential equation:

Rounded to the nearest integer :  y=7199

Therefore, There were approximately 7199 visitors on the 9th weekend.

3. Here, we know that the number of visitors is 15051

Since y represents the number of visitors.

So, replace y=15051 in our exponential equation and solve for x:

Rounded to the nearest whole number :  x=2

Therefore, The number of visitors was about 15,051 after 2 weekends.
