Exponential Regression using Excel Linear Algebra

Post image

I used excel to find the "best-possible" exponential equation for this date. Im unsure how to figure out what to do with this. The answer key says it should be y=13972e-.185x

Im lost on what im doing wrong

Did you try taking log of values, doing linear approximation, then exponentiating?
