Planetary orbits: The table shown gives the time required for the first five planets to make one complete revolution around the Sun (in years), along with the average orbital radius of the planet in astronomical units (1 AU = 92.96 million miles). Use a graphing calculator to (a) graph a scatterplot of the data and (b) find an equation model using a power regression (round to four decimal places). Use the equation to estimate (c) the average orbital radius of Saturn, given it orbits the Sun every 29.46 yr, and (d) estimate how many years it takes Uranus to orbit the Sun, given it has an average orbital radius of 19.2 AU
