Objectives Use mathematical models to approximate sets of data points. Use the regression feature of a graphing utility to find the equation of a least squares regression line. Write mathematical models for direct variation, direct variation as an nth power, inverse variation, combined variation, and joint variation.

Introduction

Introduction In this section, you will study the following techniques for fitting models to data: least squares regression and direct and inverse variation.

“Plotting Points in TI 84” (Video) https://www. youtube. com/watch

Example 1 – A Mathematical Model The populations y (in millions) of the United States from 2003 through 2010 are shown in the table. A linear model that approximates the data is y = 2.72t + 282.0, 3  t  10 where t represents the year, with t = 3 corresponding to 2003. Plot the actual data and the model on the same set of coordinate axes. How closely does the model represent the data?

Example 1 – Solution The actual data are plotted in Figure 1.64, along with the graph of the linear model. From the graph, it appears that the model is a “good fit” for the actual data. You can see how well the model fits by comparing the actual values of y with the values of y given by the model. Figure 1.64

Example 1 – Solution cont’d The values given by the model are labeled y* in the table below.

Checkpoint 1  

Least Squares Regression and Graphing Utilities

Least Squares Regression and Graphing Utilities You have worked with many different types of mathematical models that approximate real-life data. In some instances the model was given (as in Example 1), whereas in other instances you were asked to find the model using simple algebraic techniques or a graphing utility. To find a model that approximates a set of data most accurately, statisticians use a measure called the sum of square differences, which is the sum of the squares of the differences between actual data values and model values.

Least Squares Regression and Graphing Utilities The “best-fitting” linear model, called the least squares regression line, is the one with the least sum of square differences. We know that you can approximate this line visually by plotting the data points and drawing the line that appears to best fit the data—or you can enter the data points into a calculator or computer and use the linear regression feature of the calculator or computer.

Least Squares Regression and Graphing Utilities When you use the regression feature of a graphing calculator or computer program, you will notice that the program may also output an “r -value.” This r -value is the correlation coefficient of the data and gives a measure of how well the model fits the data. The closer the value of | r | is to 1, the better the fit.

Instructor’s Note  

Instructor’s Note The first half of this video illustrates the process on the previous slide. “Least Squares Regression Line on the TI83 TI84 Calculator” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVeNrDLhgnI

Example 2 – Finding a Least Squares Regression Line The data in the table show the numbers E (in millions) of Medicare enrollees from 2003 through 2010. Construct a scatter plot that represents the data and find the least squares regression line for the data.

Example 2 – Solution Let t = 3 represent 2003. The scatter plot for the points is shown in Figure 1.65. Using the regression feature of a graphing utility, you can determine that the equation of the least squares regression line is E = 0.92t + 38.2 Figure 1.65

Example 2 – Solution cont’d To check this model, compare the actual E-values with the E-values given by the model, which are labeled E* in the table below. The correlation coefficient for this model is r  0.996, which implies that the model is a good fit.

Checkpoint 2  

Direct Variation

Direct Variation There are two basic types of linear models. The more general model has a y-intercept that is nonzero. y = mx + b, b  0 The simpler model y = kx has a y-intercept that is zero. In the simpler model, y is said to vary directly as x, or to be directly proportional to x.

Direct Variation

Instructor’s Note To solve real-life problems involving variations and proportionalities, use these steps as guidelines. Identify your independent and dependent variables and label them. Set up your model. Use a case example to solve for the constant of proportionality and complete your model. Use your newly-completed model to make predictions.

Checkpoint 3 The simple interest on an investment is directly proportional to the amount of the investment. For instance, an investment of $2,500 will earn $187.50 after 1 year. Find a mathematical model that gives the interest I after 1 year in terms of the invested P.

Direct Variation as an nth Power

Direct Variation as an nth Power Another type of direct variation relates one variable to a power of another variable. For example, in the formula for the area of a circle A =  r 2 the area A is directly proportional to the square of the radius r. Note that for this formula,  is the constant of proportionality.

Direct Variation as an nth Power

Checkpoint 4 Neglecting air resistance, the distance s an object falls varies directly as the square of the duration t of the fall. An object falls a distance of 144 feet in 3 seconds. How far will it fall in 6 seconds?

Direct Variation as an nth Power In Checkpoints 3 and 4, the direct variations are such that an increase in one variable corresponds to an increase in the other variable. This is also true in the model d = F, F > 0, where an increase in F results in an increase in d. You should not, however, assume that this always occurs with direct variation. For example, in the model y = –3x, an increase in x results in a decrease in y and yet y is said to vary directly as x.

Inverse Variation

Inverse Variation If x and y are related by an equation of the form y = k/x n, then y varies inversely as the nth power of x (or y is inversely proportional to the n[th power of x).

Checkpoint 5 A company has found that the demand for one of its products varies inversely as the price of the product. When the price is $2.75, the demand is 600 units. Approximate the demand when the price is $3.25.

Combined Variation

Combined Variation Some applications of variation involve problems with both direct and inverse variations in the same model. These types of models are said to have combined variation.

Example 6 A gas law states that the volume of an enclosed gas varies directly as the temperature and inversely as the pressure. The pressure of a gas is 0.75 kilogram per square centimeter when the temperature is 294 K and the volume is 8000 cubic centimeters. Write and equation relating pressure, temperature, and volume. Find the pressure when the temperature is 300 K and the volume is 7000 cubic centimeters.

Checkpoint 6 The resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. Given that #28 copper wire (which has a diameter of 0.0126 inch) has a resistance of 66.17 ohms per thousand feet, what length of #28 copper wire will produce a resistance of 33.5 ohms?

Joint Variation

Joint Variation If x, y and z are related by an equation of the form z = kxnym, then z varies jointly as the nth power of x and the mth power of y.

Checkpoint 7 The kinetic energy E of an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the square of the object’s velocity v. An object with a mass of 50 kilograms traveling at 16 meters per second has a kinetic energy of 6400 joules. What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 70 kilograms traveling at 20 meters per second? Side note: What would happen to the kinetic energy of an object with constant mass when the speed is doubled? What are the implications for driving a car? (Don’t speed.)
