Family of Curves

A family of curves is a group of curves that are each described by a parametrization in which one or more variables are parameters. In general, the parameters have more complexity on the assembly of the curve than an ordinary linear transformation. These…

XZ Plane

In order to understand XZ plane, it's helpful to understand two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. To plot a point on a plane, two numbers are needed, and these two numbers in the plane can be represented as an ordered pair (a,b) where a and b are…

Euclidean Geometry

Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with flat surfaces like lines, angles, points, two-dimensional figures, etc. In Euclidean geometry, one studies the geometrical shapes that rely on different theorems and axioms. This (pure mathematics) ge…

Lines and Angles

In a two-dimensional plane, a line is simply a figure that joins two points. Usually, lines are used for presenting objects that are straight in shape and have minimal depth or width.

Textbook Question

Chapter 8, Problem 9SE

Refer to Exercise 2 in Section 8.2.

a. Using each of the three models in turn, predict the NO_x emission when Speed = 1500, Torque = 400, and HP = 150.
b. Using each of the three models in turn, predict the NO_x emission when Speed = 1600, Torque = 300, and HP = 100.
c. Using each of the three models in turn, predict the NO_x emission when Speed = 1400, Torque = 200, and HP = 75.
d. Which model or models appear to be the best? Choose one of the answers, and explain.
1. i. The model with Speed and Torque as independent variables is the best.
2. ii. The model with Speed and HP as independent variables is the best.
3. iii. The model with Speed, Torque, and HP as independent variables is the best.
4. iv. The model with Speed and Torque and the model with Speed and HP are about equally good: both are better than the model with Speed, Torque, and HP.
5. v. The model with Speed and Torque and the model with Speed, Torque, and HP are about equally good; both are better than the model with Speed and HP.
6. vi. The model with Speed and HP and the model with Speed, Torque, and HP are about equally good; both are better than the model with Speed and Torque.
7. vii. All three models are about equally good.
