Power Curve Fit

Another method of analysis is the power curve or geometric curve. The

equation of the power curve is y = Ax

, and the values for A and B are

computed by calculations similar to linear regression. Some examples of

power curves are shown below.

The following keystrokes fit a power curve according to the equation ln y =

ln A + B(ln x):

1. Press CLEAR .

2. Key in the first y-value and press . Key in the first x-value and

press . Repeat this step for all data pairs.

3. Press , to obtain the correlation coefficient (between ln y

and ln x).

4. Press 0 to obtain A in the above equation.

5. Press 1 0 to obtain B.

6. To make a y-estimate, key in the x-value and press

relationship between the time (t) for a falling object to hit the ground and

the height (h) it hasfallen, he might have released a rock from various
