Drawing an Exponential Regression Graph (
y
=
a
·
e
b
·
x
)
Exponential regression can be used when
y
is proportional to the exponential function of
x
. The normal exponential regression formula is
y
=
a
·
e
b
·
x
. If we obtain the logarithms of
both sides, we get ln(
y
) = ln(
a
) +
b
·
x
. Next, if we say that Y = ln(
y
) and A = In(
a
), the formula
corresponds to the linear regression formula Y = A +
b
·
x
.
