Use Desmos online graphing tool and produce a scatter plot of the data.
Use Desmos to find the exponential regression model () = ∗

Either cut/paste or screen capture the scatter plot of the points and the regression line, and present
it as part of your solution to the test. If you cannot do any of that, then hand sketch the scatterplot and the line of best fit on a sheet of paper.
b) Use the model in part a) to predict the company’s revenue in 2021.
c) What is the company’s rate of change of revenue in the year 2021? Do not convert the model to
the natural base. Interpret this value in a sentence within the context of the problem.
d) Rewrite the revenue function with the natural base using =

, then write the growth rate
of the company (correct to the nearest whole percentage).
e) When will this company’s annual revenue exceed $ 100 billion (round to the nearest year)? Show
work leading to your answer.
