y = x+(m/(ax^n+b)+c?

I'm trying to find the equation for a graph in which the equation changes for different points.
The graph can be made accurate upto 1500, but after that it becomes inacurate for my numbers, using this equation;
x+(x*(.8-(\frac{3x}{5000})
or
x*(1.80-(\frac{3x}{5000}))
As you can see, it's sort of like modifying x by a percentage, that decreases as x gets bigger, an equation which changes as x does. At 0 the modifer is 180% or +80%, at 50 it's 177% (+77%), the modifer drops 3% each 50 along the x axis. At 500 its 150%, at 1000 its 120% all the way down to 0% at 3000, The problem with this is that when ever I put this into a calculator it doesn't go 3000+(0% of 3000) which WOULD = 3000, instead it somehow calculates 3000 x 0% = 0.
The idea is that as x increases y increases but at a slower rate, like an exponential function (if X > 0). Problem is I can't find any exponential function to fix it (My calculator is gay, and even though the numbers are fairly round I can't manually find one that fits it, every time I get close and add a +c to the equation it goes spastic), it was suggested to me that maybe it is a, x+(\frac{m}{ax^n+b})+c type equation which would complicate things.
Maybe I am looking to hard, maybe I'm just an idiot but after a few hours of thinking about it my head is startinig to hurt and I'm getting lazy so any help will be usefull.

I might have to edit this if the tex is stuffed up, first time using it lol.
Edit: Okay I think I got the tex stuff down. Hehe.

Bump, 60 views no reply. Is my question too difficult or just silly?
 
You have not provided any usefull information. It is not easy, or even possible, to always find a relationship which describes and arbitrary data set.

Tell us more about the data? Where did it come from? What is the physical situation?

While I admire your efforts, they do not help us help you.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
