Question

1986 was the year that Halley's Comet was seen, write a function to represent a linear function for Halley's Comet for the next 5 times the comet will be seen.
Will giveaway alot of points. Need it asap.

Answer 1

Answer: y(k) = 75.32*k + 1986

Steps:

Orbital period ‎of the Halley's comet is 75.32 years. Set up a function with variable k denoting the "k-th" time the comet is seen again since last sighting in 1986:

y(k) = 75.32*k + 1986

The function value is the year (including decimal fraction) when the comet will be seen for the k-the time since 1986.
