MATH REVIEW: MATHEMATICAL MODELS

4 Basic Types:

  • Linear 
  • Quadratic 
  • Inverse 
  • Square root (radical)

Straightening a Relationship

  • It can be prohibitively difficult to analyze non-linear relationships.
  • If we are able to make the non-liner "look" linear then we use \( y=mx+b \) to easily analyze it.
  • We can do this linearization by  of the graph.




The following results were obtained from Chris during a ski trip.


  1. Plot the graph of the results. Straighten the graph if required.
  2. Determine the equation of the graph
  3. If Chris hadn't wiped out, how fast would he have been traveling after 12.5 seconds.
