How can you use an equation to make a prediction from a pattern?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You would find the equation that models the data. Like a trend line.

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Is that it?

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

@nonon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the line that models the data can be used to make predictions by extrapolating from the line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and interpolating, I guess. That's it.

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Can you put that togethe?r

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

together?*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The equation of the line that models the data can be used to predict data by extrapolating and interpolating from the graph.

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

And are you sure??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uh...do I need to be more specific?

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

If you want. I was just asking if you are sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm quite sure. You can add to that: For example, if the model line is a function, one can plug in the x into the equation of the line to find y and that will be the prediction.

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

So just put:The equation of the line that models the data can be used to predict data by extrapolating and interpolating from the graph. For example, if the model line is a function, one can plug in the x into the equation of the line to find y and that will be the prediction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):
