James invested $19,000 in the stock market five years ago and has recorded the value of the investment annually since then, as shown in the table. Year, x Value, f (x) 0 $19,000 1 $19,500 $20,300 3 $21,200 4 $22,200 5 $23,600 Copy Data Step 1 of 2: Using the regression commands on a graphing utility, find the exponential function of best fit for the investment over the past five years. Write your answer in the form f(x) = a(b)* and round a and b to three decimal places, if necessary. (Note that using different graphing utilities may yield different results.)
