Answer 1

Write a set of walking instructions based on the data in Tables A and B.

Answer 2

@Michele_Laino

Answer 3

What do they mean by "walking instructions''?

Answer 4

maybe the function distance as function of time for both tables A and B

Answer 5

I'm not sure

Answer 6

do you know the least square method, for statistical processing of data?

Answer 7

No

Answer 8

But I can learn !

Answer 9

what subject are you studying at your school?

Answer 10

Well i am a rising eight grader...

Answer 11

And it's just math, latin, english, history, and physics.

Answer 12

please wait, I'm working on your answer...

Answer 13

Okay

Answer 14

I understand.
We have to write two functions which model your data contained in both tables

Answer 15

for example, let's consider the first table

Answer 16

so can we use:
y = mx +b

Answer 17

yes! that's right!

Answer 18

Okay so to find m:
\[\frac{ (y_2 - y_1) }{ (x_2 -x_1) }\]

Answer 19

when x=0, we have y=0.8, so we can write:
0.8=m*0+b=b
so b=0.8

Answer 20

So i am going to use the coordinates:
(1,1) and (2,1.2)
\[\frac{ (1.2 - 1) }{ (2 -1 ) }\]

Answer 21

similarly, when x=1, we have y=1
so we can write:
1=m*1+b=m+b=m+0.8
then:
m=1-0.8=0.2
I prefer the substitution method

Answer 22

\[\frac{ 0.2 }{ 1 }\]

Answer 23

ok! so we can write:
y=0.2*x+0.8

Answer 24

yes

Answer 25

now we have to do the same, with the second table

Answer 26

for b:\[\frac{ 3.2 - 3.6 }{ 3 -2 }\]

Answer 27

That would show a negative slope right?

Answer 28

yes! it is -0.4

Answer 29

\[\frac{ -0.4 }{ 1 }\]

Answer 30

ok!

Answer 31

so y = -0.4x + 4

Answer 32

so the requested function is:
y=-0.4*x+4

Answer 33

So those are the two answers right?

Answer 34

yes! right!

Answer 35

Can you please help me with my physics homework as well?

Answer 36

ok!

Answer 37

Thank you i will make a new post

Answer 38

ok!
