Question:
- The length of a rope is measured and recorded in the following table. Knots were tied in the rope, one at a time. After each knot was added, the length of the rope was measured and recorded. A total of five knots were tied.
Number of knots | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
Length of rope (cm) | 100 | 92 | 84 | 76 | 68 | 60 |
- 1 What is the independent variable in this situation? What is the dependent variable? Explain.
- 3 2 What is the domain of the situation? What is the range of the situation?
- Create a scatterplot of the length l of the rope versus the number of knots n tied in the rope. Describe your graph.
- 4 What are the coordinates of the l-intercept in this situation?
- 5 In symbolic form, this function can be represented as l=−8n+100l=−8n+100. Use this equation to predict the length of the rope when 11 knots are tied in it.
