This document provides an algorithm and flowchart for fitting an exponential curve to data using the equation y = aebx. It involves the following steps:
1. Convert the equation to linear form by taking the log of both sides as ln(y) = ln(a) + bx
2. Create a table with the x, y, ln(y), x2, and xy values
3. Derive equations to solve for the coefficients a' and b'
4. Calculate the necessary deltas and ratios to determine the values of a' and b'
5. Substitute the coefficient values back into the original exponential equation to obtain the best-fit curve.
