I have questions about linear patterns.
I know that there has to be a constant change between the variables but how can I find the next variable with given variables if they don’t look constant, and how can I prove they are not linear ?

Write a linear model for this question. Takeoff and landing will take a fixed amount of time. Actualtravel in the air will take time proportional to the distance traveled. Think about which of thevariables (time and distance) is the independent variable, and identify the slope and intercept withtheir units.2.

Use equations (4a) and (4b) to find these coefficients and determine the units of the coefficients, c1 and c2. Note that the units for these coefficients will not be the same in our two cases. Further note that the calibration coefficients are intermediate quantities, not final results. It is probably best to keep them to four significant digits to avoid round-off errors in subsequent calculations. Lastly, plot the line representing the curve fit. It should appear as a best fit, if you’ve done everything correctly. n is the number of data pairs in the curve-fit. the yi ’s arethe ordinate values (the less precisely known). the xi ’s are the abscissa values (the more precisely known).arrow_forward
