To graph: Trend line and to interpolate to estimate the number of inventors applying for patents in 2006 and in 2015.

Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Data provided in the question that are used to draw the trend line is
Here in the table
Graph: the
Interpretation:
Interpolate the data to estimate the number of inventors applying for patents in 2006 which can be done by connecting the points on either side of 2006 with a straight line and find the equation of that line.
By observing the graph we can find
Slope
Equation of the trend line
Put
Now to estimate the number of inventors applying for patents in 2006
Substitute
Similarly estimate the number of inventors applying for patents in 2015
Substitute

- 3. A scientist recorded the movement of a pendulum for 10 s. The scientist began recording when the pendulum was at its resting position. The pendulum then moved right (positive displacement) and left (negative displacement) several times. The pendulum took 4 s to swing to the right and the left and then return to its resting position. The pendulum's furthest distance to either side was 6 in. Graph the function that represents the pendulum's displacement as a function of time. Answer: f(t) (a) Write an equation to represent the displacement of the pendulum as a function of time. (b) Graph the function. 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 t 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 -1 -5. -6 -7 -8 -9 -10-arrow_forwardA power outage occurs 6 min after the ride started. Passengers must wait for their cage to be manually cranked into the lowest position in order to exit the ride. Sine function model: h = −82.5 cos (3πt) + 97.5 where h is the height of the last passenger above the ground measured in feet and t is the time of operation of the ride in minutes. (a) What is the height of the last passenger at the moment of the power outage? Verify your answer by evaluating the sine function model. (b) Will the last passenger to board the ride need to wait in order to exit the ride? Explain.arrow_forwardThe Colossus Ferris wheel debuted at the 1984 New Orleans World's Fair. The ride is 180 ft tall, and passengers board the ride at an initial height of 15 ft above the ground. The height above ground, h, of a passenger on the ride is a periodic function of time, t. The graph displays the height above ground of the last passenger to board over the course of the 15 min ride.
