Drone improvement function
Data Points
What these points mean
- Distance is measured in yards
- The yards are divided by ten (170 actually means 1,700 yards)
- The graph is based off of 1995 when the drone market started
- 1995 corresponds to 0 on the graph, 1996 is 1, 1997 is 2, etc.
- These points create a scatter plot that shows the function y = 5.42041(1.21379)^x.
- This function follows the exponential function template ab^x. The a, or 5.42041, represents the y-intercept while b, or 1.21379, represents the factor at which the graph is stretched vertically.
