[Math] Why does Desmos give a different exponential regression than the TI 84 and the Calculus text

calculatorregression analysis

I obtained this data from a calculus text (Stewart's Single Variable Calculus, Early Transcendentals, 2nd Ed.). The text and my TI 84 graphing calculator both give similar values for $a$ and $b$ ($0.00807079266$ and $1.013731$, respectively).

Below is my result from Desmos. What magic is it working? Why might it be so different? The regression line in the textbook also looks much better.

Am I handling Desmos correctly?

Problem solved: I enabled log mode. (Note the unchecked box in the sample illustration.) This puts the figures in line with the other calculators. The desmos site explains: support.desmos.com/hc/en-us/articles/204349605
