Worksheet 1.5: Comparing Linear Functions College Algebra and Trigonometr Focus Problem Rocky Mountain National Park is home to black bears. There was an incre in bear sightings between 1984 and 1991, so park workers gathered information about their population. Their findings are given in the table below. Funding for this research ended, so the park staff does not know what the current bear popu is. How might you use linear functions to approximate the bear population in 2015? Is good way to model the situation? Why or why not? Year 1991 1992 1995 1997 2001 2004 2007 2010 Bear Population 24 29 42 53 39 33 32 27

Range of ankle motion is a contributing factor to falls among the elderly. Suppose a team of researchers is studying how compression hosiery, typical shoes, and medical shoes affect range of ankle motion. In particular, note the variables Barefoot and Footwear2. Barefoot represents a subject's range of ankle motion (in degrees) while barefoot, and Footwear2 represents their range of ankle motion (in degrees) while wearing medical shoes. Use this data and your preferred software to calculate the equation of the least-squares linear regression line to predict a subject's range of ankle motion while wearing medical shoes, ?̂ , based on their range of ankle motion while barefoot, ? .
