Apart from sociological data is given on the explosive growth of vehicle sales in “color,” China and in India in the past several years, along with the (slight) decline in vehicle sales in the United States. Students will model this data using exponential, quadratic, and linear models, and they will make predictions on sales volume in future years. Coming later in the semester at the point of introduction of exponential – functions the assignment reviews linear and quadratic functions, and serves as a capstone activity on the – types of growth over time featured in the course.
