Normal lines A normal line at a point P on a curve passes through P and is perpendicular to the line tangent to the curve at P (see figure). Use the following equations and graphs to determine an equation of the normal line at the given point. Illustrate your work by graphing the curve with the normal line.

- When Date Are Unevenly speed. If data are evenly spaced, we need only calculate differences to see whether the data are linear. But if data not evenly spaced, then we must calculate the average rate of change over each interval to see whether the data are linear. If the average rate of changes is constant, it is the slope of the linear function. This fact is used in Exercises 23 and 24. In the following table, show that the average rate of change is the same over each interval. This shows the data are linear, even though the differences in y are not constant. Then find a linear model for the data. x 1 2 5 6 y 7 10 19 22arrow_forwardWhen Date Are Unevenly speed.

If the average rate of change is constant, it is the slope of the linear function. This fact is used in Exercises 23 and 24.

- Using the regressions line attached. The correct interpretation of the intercept in the plot is: a) as height increases, weight will decrease by 143 b) as height increases, weight will definitively increase by 3.899 c) as height increases by a single unit, height will increase by 143 units d) when height is equal to 0, the value of the intercept is equal to 0 e) when height is equal to 0, the value of the intercept is equal to approximately 70 f) when height is equal to 0, the predicted value for weight is equal to -143arrow_forwardThe average speed reached by the winners of the Tour de France increased by 53.9% since the first race in 1903 through 2017. We performed a regression of the average winning speeds on years, for the modern era of the Tour, from 1967 to 2017. We obtained the following scatterplot, showing the fitted line: ̂ Average Speed = −225.48 + 0.1323 Y ear. i) Are the conditions for regression met? ii) The years 1999–2005 have been disqualified because of doping. How does this help explain the fact that 9 out of 10 residuals in the final 10 years are negative? iii) Would you extrapolate from this model to predict next year’s winning speed?arrow_forwardTest for a significance of the positive slope.

- 44. The slope coefficient estimate b from a regression of profits on sales of a number of firms in the coal industry is 0.075. How should you interpret this coefficient?a) Average profit in the coal industry is 7.5%.b) If a firm in the coal industry were to increase its sales by $1, its profits would rise on average by $0.075.c) If a firm has 1 more dollar in sales than another firm in the coal industry, it will have 7.5 more cents in profit on average.d) Average profit in the coal industry is .75%.e) If a firm in the coal industry were to increase its sales by $1, its profits would rise on average by $0.0075.45. A regression’s equation is given as: Q = 5 – 3P, which means that:a) a 3% increase in Price will decrease Quantity by 1%b) a 1% increase in Price will increase Quantity by 3%c) a 1% increase in Price will decrease Quantity by 3%d) a 3% increase in Quantity will decrease Price by 1%arrow_forwardWrite the regression equation for the standard curve here. 1. First, rearrange the regression equation to solve for x. Y= 0.1074 X -0.1223 2. From the three unknown tube results, plug the average y value into the equation and calculate the x value. This should tell you how many grams of BSA were present in that assay tube on average. (Hint: think about how many significant figures are needed). 3.
