TRY [Ch. Ill, § 17 Place these points in their proper positions in the plane,and when a sufficient number has been obtained, a smoothcurve passed through them will show approximately theform of the curve. The points can be determined as nearto each other as we please, and the approximation can… … x = 0, y = 10. X = 1, y= 8, x=% y = 6, x = 3, y= 4, *=4, y= 2, x = 5, y= o, x = - 1, y=i2, x = - 2, ^ = 14, x = - 3, 2/ = 16, etc etc. Plotting the points (0, 10), (1, 8), (2, 6), etc.. andpassing a curve through the points, we see that they allappear to lie on a straight line. This method,…
