Step-by-step explanation:
and
and we are told that C is 6cm longer than A. That means that C = A + 6.
We are going to cross multiply each one of those ratios. The first one gives us
4A = 3B and the second one gives us
9B = 8C. But since C = A + 6, then
9B = 8(A + 6) and
9B = 8A + 48 and
Now we will solve the first equation above for A:
If 4A = 3B, then
and will use that as a sub for A in the second equation:
and
9B = 6B + 48 and
3B = 48 so
B = 16.
Now that we know B, we can use it to solve for A:
4A = 3(16) and
4A = 48 so
A = 12.
Then we can use that all the way back in the expression we set up for C:
C = A + 6 so
C = 12 + 6 so
C = 18
12 + 16 + 18 is the length of the string: 46cm
When you have a set of data points and you want to get a model out of it, you do data fitting. The first thing to do is plot the points using a scatter plot type of chart as shown in the picture. I used MS Excel as a tool for data fitting. On the left side of the picture, I used linear fitting. Then, it gives you the linear equation y=0.2907x + 2.2643. It has a correlation coefficient, R^2, of 0.9595. This measures how good your data fits the model equation. The closer it is to 1, the better. However, it is rare to get 1 because that is very ideal. A R^2 of 0.9595 is very satisfactory already. But if you want an even better model, the right side of the picture shows data fitting on a quadratic equation with an equation of y=0.0209x^2 +0.506x+2.0232 with R^2 of 0.9992.
