U.S. Population The table gives the U.S. population, in millions, for selected years, with projections to 2050.
a. Create a scatter plot for the data in the table, with x equal to the number of years after 1960.
b. Use the scatter plot to determine the type of function that can be used to model the data, and create a function that best fits the data, with x equal to the number of years after 1960.
