Rather than using the base-e exponential model (Eq. 13.22), a common alternative is to employ a base-10 model:

y = α5l0β5x

When used for curve fitting, this equation yields identical results to the base-e version, but the value of the exponent parameter (β5) will differ from that estimated with Eq.13.22 (β1). Use the base-10 version to solve Prob. 13.9. In addi­tion, develop a formulation to relate β1 to β5.
