Homework Statement


I have all of the data but I just can't find the equation to linearize it.

X values: 0, 1.98, 3.96, 5.94, 7.92, 9.9, 11.88
Y values: 1.98, 7.13, 9.08, 11.04, 12.57, 14.51, 14.342. The attempt at a solution
I know it is not a parabola, cubic, exponential, or inverse.

You can do a linear regression on your data. IDK how good a fit you'll get. The y-values reach a maximum before the last x-value.
A spreadsheet like Excel probably already has the tools for this built-in.
 
Thanks, I have no idea if I got the graph correct but something is better than nothing.
