Problem 1: Twenty-six observations
1. Suppose Y is related to R and S in the following nonlinear way: Y = aRbSc
a. In order to estimate the parameters a, b, and c, the equation must be transformed into the form: _ln(Y) = ln(a) + b*ln(R) +c*ln(S)___.
I assume that the question is supposed to read Y = a * Rb * Sc (b and c are exponents). Is that correct? If so, then you need to take the logarithm of both sides:
Y = a * Rb * Sc
ln(Y) = ln(a * Rb * Sc)
ln(Y) = ln(a) + b*ln(R) +c*ln(S)
This transforms the original equation into a linear equation.

Twenty-six observations are used to obtain the following regression results:
