1 Math Objectives Students will understand how various data transformations can be used to achieve a linear relationship and, consequently, how to use the methods of linear regression to obtain a line of best fit. Students will use various calculator regression functions in order to model the relationship between two variables. Students will convert a linear regression equation back to a nonlinear equation to model the relationship between two variables. Students will use appropriate tools strategically (CCSS Mathematical Practice). Students will look for and make use of structure (CCSS Mathematical Practice). Vocabulary transformation linear regression exponential regression power regression logarithmic regression About the Lesson This lesson involves three real-world data sets in which the relationship between each pair of variables is non-linear. As a result, students will: Learn how data transformations can be used to achieve a linear relationship. Learn how to use several calculator regression functions to model the relationship between two variables. Learn how to convert a linear regression equation back to a non-linear equation. TI-Nspire Navigator System Use Screen Capture to compare the graphs of student regression equations. Have students write possible relationships between the original variable pairs on a calculator Notes page. Use Screen Capture to compare and discuss student equations.

2 Discussion Points and Possible Answers Tech Tip: When using one of the calculator regression functions, make sure students enter the appropriate values for X List, Y List, Save RegEqn to, and 1st Result Column. In addition, after a regression equation is saved as a function, the user must trigger the graph of the function on the graph screen on the appropriate Entry Line. Move to page 1.2. Teacher Tip: This activity involves several challenging mathematical concepts. For example, students should have knowledge of logarithmic, exponential, and power functions. This activity also requires familiarity with TI-Nspire calculator functions. Instructors might consider working with students to solve Problem 1 and allow students to consider Problems 2 and 3 on their own. In addition, there is an extra Data and Statistics page at the end of each problem. Teachers and students might find it easier to construct scatter plots and find regression equations on these pages. Each Data and Statistics page provides an excellent opportunity to visualize each transformation dynamically. Move to page This problem involves the world production of oil as a function of time 1. Let be the time in years since 1880 and the variable oil represents the world production of oil in millions of barrels. a. Page 1.2 shows a scatter plot of oil versus. Describe the relationship between and oil, and write a possible mathematical equation to describe this relationship. Sample Answers: The scatter plot suggests there is an exponential relationship between oil and time A possible mathematical equation to describe the relationship between oil and is where and are constants. 1 Larson, Pia Veldt.

5 Answer: The two graphs (equations) are exactly the same. Note: Ask students what this suggests about the calculator algorithm for performing exponential regression. (It appears the calculator does the linear transformation in the background first, finds the regression equation, and then converts back to exponential form. This is exactly what we did.) TI-Nspire Navigator Opportunity: Screen Capture See Note 3 at the end of this lesson. Move to page This problem involves the height and age of Douglas Fir trees. Let the variable height represent the height of a randomly selected Douglas Fir tree (in feet) and the variable age represent the age of that tree (in years). a. Page 2.1 shows a scatter plot of height versus age. Describe in words the relationship between age and height, and write a possible mathematical equation to describe this relationship.

Answer: Start with the power regression equation and solve for Kepler s Law of Periods states the square of the period of any planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. Wrap Up Upon completion of this activity, students should be able to understand: A logarithmic transformation on one or both variables can be used to achieve a linear relationship. Linear regression is a technique for finding a line of best fit. For exponential regression, logarithmic regression, and power regression, it appears the calculator transforms the data to achieve a linear relationship, and then applies the techniques of linear regression to the transformed data.
