Linear forecasting is the process of extrapolating the given function values to an independent variable value that is not observed in the data. In this question, you are predicting or forecasting the number of megabits that can be stored in 400 microseconds without collecting any data at that range.

1.The number of megabits (y) in terms of microseconds (x) is given by the following equation:

How many megabits can be stored in 400 microseconds? (20 points)

How many megabits?

Round all value answers to 3 decimal places.

2.Laptop A and Laptop B have fully charged batteries and were used by company sales staff while traveling until the laptops ran out of power (note that the laptops will not operate when the battery voltage drops below 3.0). The two laptops have different battery capacities and power consumption rates. Below are the graphs that show the power consumption. The x-axis represents the time used (in hours), and the y-axis represents the remaining voltage in the battery. Using these graphs, determine which laptop is more efficient, and support your choice using appropriate math. (30 points)

Hint: Keep in mind that what you are looking to compare is in volts per hour.

Which laptop is more efficient?
