What are the variables, parameters and constraints of data
given gravitational data points
Time (min) gforce
.01 35
.03 28
.1 20
.3 15
1 11
3 9
10 6
30 4.5
I understand what the variables are, what are the parameters(it is 11?) and what constraints are there. figured out it was an exponential function similar to f(x)=11* x^-0.250
Also need to figure the correlation coefficient for this function. Think it is .35 or similar (trying to do linear regression on ti-84).
Might be a couple of additional questions once I better understand
thanks

it is very close to the function that graph 4.3 calculated for the data points
if you take f(1)=11 you have the starting point.
from there I had to figure out how to match to the rest of the data.
back original question: what are the parameters and what are the constraints?
What is the correlation coefficient?

"it is very close to the function that graph 4.3 calculated for the data points"
I do not understand this at all.
If you understand what the variables are, what are they?
-
I am sure that the parameters are not 11 (you might be able to find a parameter using that data point, but any other would be as good.

I think now that it is a power function, not exponential.
Apologies, but I am not sure how to explain it further. plugged data point into graph 4.3 and had it plot the best fit using different graph types. found one that fit the data points.
Do you know what my parameters are?

"graph 4.3"
and what is graph 4.3. It does not seem to be available to me.

My focus has moved on. Only so much time to spend on mental exercises. Thanks.
On to the next pursuit.
I will give you the points since you are the only one who took the time to help out.

I have some difficulty with your notation.
Using your equation I would expect something like
gforce (t) = 11* t^(-0.250)
which is not an exponential equation and does not come close to fitting the data.
The curve is obviously non-linear so you cannot use a linear regression to check for goodness of fit
