I've seen other people answer questions on how to do this, I tried it and it didn't work. As of right now, I'm using the following desmos graphs.
Desmos, Linearized Exponential Graph
I'm using $Y=ab^X$ as my exponential graph. I'm then using the least squares regression method, so:
$ln(Y)=ln(ab^X)$
$ln(Y)=ln(a)+X ln(b)$
Now that it's in form $Y=mX+b$, where $ln(Y)=Y, m=ln(b), b=ln(a)$. I then used the Least Square Regression Method, but the parameters in the line of best fit don't match up. Why not?
From what I understand the issue might be due to the fact that the data is not perfect.
