Answer to Problem 11E
Linear model
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
To determine if the given graph can be modeled by linear model, quadratic model or neither of them, try to draw a straight line or a parabola through the given scatter plot.
If a straight line can be drawn through the points of the scatter plot, it could be modelled by linear model whereas if a parabola can be drawn through the points of the scatter plot, it could be modelled by a quadratic model.
In case if both are not possible, it could neither be modeled.
Here, in the given graph we could draw a straight line. Therefore, the scatter plot could be modeled by a linear model.
Conclusion:
Therefore, given scatter plot is modeled by linear model.
c
To find a model for the data using regression feature of a graphing utility.

Given information:
Calculation:
Using the graphic utility to find the regression,
Conclusion:
Therefore, from the above figure. the regression equation for the linear model is
d
To draw the model with the scatter plot from subpart (a) using a graphic utility.
d
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Graph:
Interpretation:
Using a graphic utility, a straight line is formed when the data is kept on a graph.
e
To draw a table comparing the original data with the data given by the model.
e
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Table:
Draw the table comparing the original data and the data given by the model.
Original data | Data from the model | ||
x | y | ||
0 | 2795 | 0 | 302.244 |
5 | 1590 | 5 | 441.458 |
10 | 650 | 10 | 580.671 |
15 | -30 | 15 | 719.885 |
20 | -450 | 20 | 859.098 |

50 | 2845 | 50 | 1694.38 |
55 | 4350 | 55 | 302.244 |
Data from the model is obtained by substituting the values of x as
Interpretation:
When the original data and the data from the model are compared with each other, it is found that the values are nearly equal.

Roman and Shanice come along in a truck to help pull her out. They attach one end of a tow strap to the front of the car and the other end to the truck's trailer hitch, and the truck starts to pull. Meanwhile, Roman and Shanice get behind the car and push. The truck generates a horizontal force of 377 lb on the car. Roman and Shanice are pushing at a slight upward angle and generate a force of 119 lb on the car. These forces can be represented by vectors, as shown in the figure below. The angle between these vectors is 20.2°. Find the resultant force (the vector sum), then give its magnitude and its direction angle from the positive x-axis. 119 lb 20.2° 377 lbarrow_forward
