7. Return to the data you calculated for the diameter and area of the viewing circle asfunctions of the distance from the wall.a. Use the method of finite differences to determine if your data for the diameter of theviewing circle as a function of the distance from the wall exactly fit a linear model.Distance fromthe wall in ftDiameter ofviewing circle ininchesΔyslopeb. If a set of data points exactly fit a linear model, what can you say about the leastsquares regression line?c. hat happens with first differences when data points do not exactly fit a linear model butthe data can be modeled very well by a regression line?d. Use the method of finite differences to determine if your data for the area of the viewingcircle as a function of the distance from the wall exactly fit a quadratic model.e. If a set of data points exactly fit a quadratic model, what can you say about the leastsquares regression line?Math 2 Unit 5 Lesson 3 Linear and Quadratic Regression Page 38
