LINEAR FUNCTIONS
53 Number of manatees killed in Florida related to the number of powerboat registrations for the years 1977 to 1990. thousands of powerboats registered in Florida. The slope indicates that for every thousand more powerboats registered, 0.125 more manatees are killed. In other words, for every 10,000 more powerboats, the slope predicts 1.25 more manatees are killed. The data and linear function created a compelling argument that the mana- tees were at risk of being endangered in a short period of time, unless action was taken to reduce the number of powerboats and to slow down their speed in shal- low waters. As a result, the Florida legislature has made it more difficult and ex- pensive to acquire a powerboat license. It increased the number of game and fish officers in manatee areas so that “no wake” rules would be strictly enforced. online sources for further exploration Battery depletion and piecewise linear graphing Cassette tape project The diet problem Discovering the linear relationship between Celsius and Fahrenheit Environmental health Linear regression with human movements Nuclear medicine Olympic statistics Plotting temperature and altitude Property lines Size effects on airplane lift Timing traffic lights Voltage circuit simulator Your weight on other worlds ▲ ▼ ▲ Download 1.81 Mb.
