- Using your graphing calculator, make a scatter plot of the data from the table. Then graph your model from Question 2 along with the data. How well does your model fit the data? What could you do to try to improve your model?arrow_forwardPrice of Amazons Kindle The following table shows the price of Amazons Kindle 2 e-book reader. It is adapted from data available on the web. Here time is measured in months since February 2009, when the Kindle was launched. Time Price 0 349 5 299 10 249 15 199 a. By calculating differences, show that these data can be modeled using a linear function. b. Find a linear formula that models these data. Be careful about the sign of the slope. c. What price does your formula from part b project for January 2012 35 months after the Kindle was launched? Note: The web data were the basis for speculation that some day the Kindle would be free.arrow_forwardWhen Date Are Unevenly speed. If data are evenly spaced, we need only calculate differences to see whether the data are linear. But if data are not evenly spaced, then we must calculate the average rate of change over each interval to see whether the data are linear. If the average rate of change is constant, it is the slope of the linear function. This fact is used in Exercises 23 and 24. In the following table, show that the average rate of change from 2 to 5 is not the same as the average rate of change from 5 to 6. This shows that the data are not linear, even though the differences in y are constant. x 1 2 5 6 y 3 6 9 12arrow_forward
