After an oil spill in the ocean, oil continues to leak into the water. In the
accompanying table, x represents time, in hours, and y represents the diameter of the
spill on the surface, in meters. Write a power regression equation for this set of data,
rounding all coefficients to the nearest ten-thousandth. Using this equation, find how
much time has passed, to the nearest tenth of a an hour, if the diameter of the spill is
1260 meters. Find the Regression Equation and Final Answer.
