When water flows across farmland, some of the soil is washed away, resulting in erosion. Researchers released water across a test bed at different flow rates and measured the amount of soil washed away. The following table gives the flow (in liters per second) and the weight (in kilograms) of eroded soil:

Flow Rate	Amount of Eroded Soil
0.31	0.82
0.85	1.95
1.26	2.18
2.47	3.01
3.75	6.07

Researchers would like to predict what would happen under extreme conditions. Would it be reasonable to use this equation to predict the amount of soil washed away if the flow rate were 6 liters per second? Explain.
