5. The Perfect Pie Place makes two types of pies pecan and pumpkin. They can
make up to 10 pies a day. Pecan pies require 2 eggs and pumpkin pie require 3
eggs. There are 24 eggs available. They earn $5 of profit from a pumpkin pie and
$4 of profit from a pecan pie. How many of each type should they make today to
maximize profits?

16. A bakery is open for 10 hours. The data below is the number of baked goods y sold
during the xth hour the bakery is open.

(a) Sketch a scatterplot of the data.

(b) Based on the scatterplot, which type of curve should we attempt to fit to the
data? (linear, quadratic, cubic, exponential, logarithmic)
(c) Use a calculator to find the curve of best fit. Round all constants to three
decimal places.

17. Refer to the table of data points (x, y) below.

(a) Replace y with ln y, and sketch a scatterplot of the transformed data points
(x, ln y). Notice that the points follow a linear pattern. We conclude that we
should attempt to fit an exponential curve to the original data points (x, y).
(b) Use a calculator to find the exponential curve y = abx of best fit. Round a
and b to three decimal places.
(c) Use your answer to part (b) to predict the value of y when x = 4.
