  23. Summary When making a prediction about the dependent variable of a linear model, substitute a chosen value for the independent variable in the model. Then solve for the dependent variable. When making a prediction about the independent variable of a linear model, substitute a chosen value for the dependent variable in the model. Then solve for the independent variable. Section 2.3 Slide 23 Using an Equation of a Linear Model to make Predictions Using Function Notation with Models

  24. Process To find a linear model and make estimates and predictions, Create a scattergram of data to determine whether there is a nonvertical line that comes close to the data points. If so, choose two points (not necessarily data points) that you can use to find the equation of a linear model. Find an equation of your model. Section 2.3 Slide 24 Four-Step Modeling Process Using Function Notation with Models

  25. Process Verify your equation by checking that the graph of your model contains the two chosen points and comes close to all of the data points. Use the equation of your model to make estimates, make predictions, and draw conclusions. Section 2.3 Slide 25 Four-Step Modeling Process Using Function Notation with Models

  26. Example In an example from Section 2.2, we found the equation . , where p is the percentage of American adults who smoke and t years since 1990. 1. Rewrite the equation with the function name g. Section 2.3 Slide 26 Using Function Notation; Finding Intercepts Finding Intercepts

  27. Solution To use the name g, substitute for p: 2. Find . What does the result mean in this function? Substitute 110 for t in the equation : Example Continued Solution Section 2.3 Slide 27 Using Function Notation; Finding Intercepts Finding Intercepts

  31. Solution Since the model is in slope-intercept form the p-intercept is (0, 74.50) The model estimates that 74.5% of American adults smoked in 1900 Research would show that this estimate is too high model breakdown has occurred Example Continued 5. Find the t-intercept. What does it mean? Section 2.3 Slide 31 Using Function Notation; Finding Intercepts Finding Intercepts

  32. Solution To find the t-intercept, we substitute 0 for and solve for t: Section 2.3 Slide 32 Using Function Notation; Finding Intercepts Finding Intercepts

  33. Solution Continued The t-intercept is (140.57, 0) So, the model predicts that no Americans adults will smoke in Common sense suggest this probably won’t occur Use TRACE to verify the p- and i-intercepts. Section 2.3 Slide 33 Using Function Notation; Finding Intercepts Finding Intercepts

  34. Property If a function of the form , where , is used to model a situation, then The p-intercept is (0, b). To find the coordinate of the t-intercept, substitute 0 for p in the model’s equation and solve for t. Section 2.3 Slide 34 Intercepts of Models Finding Intercepts
