Step 2: Plot the Hurricane Path Use the data from step 1 to make a table of the storm's horizontal and vertical movement with respect to time. Start with a data point provided in the table in step 1 from September 1 and make this date t = 0. Note the position's longitude and latitude and record them in Table 1. Since latitude measures north/south and longitude measures east/west, the latitude coordinate will be y and the longitude coordinate will be x. Now progress through the days along the path. Choose and record one point from each day of the storm. Mark each point t = 1, t = 2, etc. Track the storm for a total of 6 days so that you have 6 points in the table, one from each day of the storm. Table 1 Actual x and y Date rt x (longitude) y (latitude) September 1 0 -38.0 15.6 September 2 1 -43.7 17.3 September 3 -54.5 18.0 September 4 -61.0 21.0 September 5 -65.8 26.1 September 6 -69.6 31.7\f\fb. Use your calculator to create a formula for the model you have chosen. Enter the ordered pairs into lists and have the calculator create the best fit function for your model. For example, if your path appears to be exponential, you will have a model of the formy = using the ExpReg feature on the calculator. If you think the function is quadratic your model will have the form y = at + bt + c using the QuadReg feature on the calculator. You will then do the same for x. You do not have to use the same model type for both x and y. Pick the model that fits each one best! Remember do not use a linear function! c. Write your final equations: . x(t) = . y(t) =
