- The following fictitious table shows kryptonite price, in dollar per gram, t years after 2006. t= Years since 2006 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 K= Price 56 51 50 55 58 52 45 43 44 48 51 Make a quartic model of these data. Round the regression parameters to two decimal places.arrow_forwardFocal Length A refracting telescope has a main lens, or objective lens, and a second lens, the eyepiece see Figure 3.42. For a given magnification M of the telescope, the focal length F of the objective lens is a linear function of the focal length Fe of the eyepiece. For example, a telescope with magnification M=80 times can be constructed using various combinations of lenses. The following table gives some samples of focal length for telescopes with magnification M=80. Here focal lengths are in centimeters. Fe 0.3 0.5 0.7 0.9 F 24 40 56 72 a. Construct a linear model for the data. b. In this example, the magnification M is 80. In general, F is proportional to Fe, and the constant of proportionality is M. Use this relation to write a formula for F in terms of Fe and M. c. Solve the equation you obtained in part b for M and thus obtain a formula for magnification as a function of objective lens focal length and eyepiece focal length. d. To achieve a large magnification, how should the objective and eyepiece lenses be selected?

(a) Use a graphing utility to create a scatter plot of the data. (b) Use the regression feature of the graphing utility to find a quartic model for the data. (A quartic model has the form at4+bt3+ct2+dt+e,where a,b,c,d,and e are constant and t is variable.) Graph the model in the same viewing window as the scatter plot. (c) Use the model to create a table of estimated values of N.Compare the model with the original data. (d) Use synthetic division to confirm algebraically your estimated value for the year 2014.arrow_forward
