(brainly won't let me space the numbers but they should be separated for each column)


a) What is the equation for the model of best fit?
b) What does your model predict would have been the amount present at 5 minutes?
c) At what time would 25.1 grams be produced, according to your model?
d) Are the products formed at a constant rate over time? Explain.

Respuesta :

a. The model that I developed for the given data was established through the use of a scientific calculator and the answer is,
                               y = 2.43x - 8.85
b. Substitute 5 go the x of the model above,
                              y = (2.43)(5) - 8.85 = 3.3
c. Substitute 25.1 in the y of the model,
                            25.1 = (2.43)(x) - 8.85   ; x = 13.97 minutes
d. No, the slopes may be changing. We are only normalizing it by forming the model. 
I used microsoft excel 2016  to graph the given data.

a) What is the equation for the model of best fit? 
The equation is y = 2.43x - 8.85

b) What does your model predict would have been the amount present at 5 minutes?
The model predict when at 5 minutes, the amount is 3.3g.
y = 2.43x - 8.85
y = 2.43(5) - 8.85
y = 3.3g

c) At what time would 25.1 grams be produced, according to your model?
The model predict when at 25.1g, the time is 13.97min.
y = 2.43x - 8.85
25.1 = 2.43x - 8.85
x = 13.97min
