Question

PART 1. HERE ARE THE NUMBERS I CAME UP WITH I JUST NEED THE REST DONE!!!

Person 1:Forearm- 9.25in Foot- 8.5in
Person 2:Forearm- 10.25inFoot- 9.5in
Person 3:Forearm- 9.75in Foot- 9in
Person 4:Forearm- 10.75in Foot- 10in
Person 5:Forearm- 8.75in Foot- 8in

Part 2
Organize your data and find the rate of change.

Create a table of the measurements for your data. Label the forearm measurements as your input and the foot measurements as your output.

Select two sets of points and find the rate of change for your data.

Describe your results. If you had to express this relation as a verbal statement, how would you describe it?
Part 3
Compare rates of change.

The equation below can be used to find the length of a foot or forearm when you know one or the other.

(length of the foot) = 0.860 • (length of the forearm) + 3.302

If you let y = length of the foot and x = length of the forearm, this equation can be simplified to
y = 0.860x + 3.302.

Using this equation, how long would the foot of a person be if his forearm was 17 inches long?

What is the rate of change of the equation from Part A?

Compare the equation from Part A to your data. Are they the same? Which has a greater rate of change? Why do you think the values are different?

Is the relation in your data a function? Why or why not? Could the equation in Part A represent a function? Why or why not? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Part 2

The rate of change is 1 in increase in forearm length per 1 inch increase in foot length

Part 3

1) Foot length = 17.922 in.

2) The rate of change of the equation y = 0.860·x + 3.302 in part A is 0.860

3) No the data does not correspond with part A

4) The data presented here has a greater rate of change

5) Different data sources

6) Yes

7) Yes

Explanation:

Part 2

The data are as follows

Forearm Foot

9.25 8.5

10.25 9.5

9.75 9

10.75 10

8.75 8

To find the rate of change, we have;

For points

(x₁, y₁) = (9.25, 8.5) and (x₂, y₂) = (8.75, 8) we have;

Rate of change = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) substituting the values we arrive at

(8.75 - 9.25)/(8 - 8.5) = 1

The rate of increase of foot to forearm is 1 to 1. That is there is an increase of 1 in in forearm length for every inch increase in foot length

The rate of change is 1 in increase in forearm length per 1 inch increse in foot length

Part 3

1) For a person with length of forearm, x = 17 inches long, we have;

Length of foot, y = 0.860·x + 3.302

Plugging in the values, we have;

y = 0.860×17 + 3.302 = 17.922 in.

2) The rate of change of the equation y = 0.860·x + 3.302 in part A is 0.860

3) No the data does not correspond with part A

4) The rate of change from part A = 0.860, Therefore, the data presented here has a greater rate of change

5) The values are different because of they are derived from a non corresponding sources

6) Yes the relation is a function because the length of the foot is a function of the length of the forearm

From the equation of a straight line, we have;

y = mx + c

Where:

m = Slope = 1

Therefore; for forearm, y = 9.25, we have

9.25 = 1×8.5 + c

∴ c = 9.5 - 8.5 = 1

The equation of the function becomes;

y = x + 1

7) for the equation in part A given by

y = 0.860·x + 3.302

Yes the equation in part A can represent a function because it maps each value of x to a unique value of y
