5) The relation between intensity and current appears linear for intensity of 300 or more (current = intensity/10). For intensity of 150, current is less than that linear relation would predict. This seems to support the notion that current will go to zero for zero intensity. Current might even be negative for zero intensity since the line through the points (300, 30) and (150, 10) will have a negative intercept (-10) when current is zero.
Usually, we expect no output from a power-translating device when there is no input, so we expect current = 0 when intensity = 0.
6) We have no reason to believe the linear relation will not continue to hold for values of intensity near those already shown. We expect the current to be 100 for in intensity of 1000.
8) Apparently, times were only measured for 1, 3, 6, 8, and 12 laps. The author of the graph did not want to extrapolate beyond the data collected--a reasonable choice.
Answer:
x=(3,1/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Be sure to use the formula...
- First, move all variables to one side (left) of the equation. You want one side to be equivalent to zero.
-Next, you need to find a, b, and c. This should be...
a=4
b=-13
c=3
- Knowing this, fill in these variable to go along with the formula. I cannot do this for you, as you should try it on your own. But, you should end up with the solution x= (3,1/4).
- Hope this helps! If you need a further explanation or help on any more problems please let me know, as I would be glad to help anytime.
