For each of the following problems, enter regression equation values with at least 3 decimal places. Enter predictions to the nearest whole individual.

1) Use regression to find an exponential equation that best fits the data above. The equation has form y=abt\displaystyle {y}={a}{b}^{{t}} where:

a =
b =

Use the model to predict the number of individuals infected with the disease after 14 days.

2) Use regression to find a linear equation that best fits the data above. The equation has form y=mt+b\displaystyle {y}={m}{t}+{b} where:

m =
b =
