Last updated: 8/7/2022

The orbital speeds of asteroids and their distance from the sun are related. In the accompanying table, x represents orbital speed, in kilometers per second, and y represents the distance from the sun, in millions of kilometers. Write a power regression equation for this set of data, rounding all coefficients to the nearest thousandth. Using this equation, find the orbital speed, to the nearest tenth of a kilometer per second, of an asteroid 3323 million km from the sun. Orbital Speed Distance from Sun (km/s) (millions of km) (x) (y) 5.6 15953 11 9388 16.1 6854 22.8 5292 28.8 4562
