when does it make sense to choose a linear function to model a set of data
No. An exponential function is not linear. A very easy way to understand what is and what is not a linear function is in the word, "linear function." A linear function, when graphed, must form a straight line.P.S. The basic formula for any linear function is y=mx+b. No matter what number you put in for the m and b variables, you will always make a linear function.
The solution of a system of linear equations is a pair of values that make both of the equations true.
The standard notation is to make y the dependent variable in linear regression.
Depends on how Large you make the three dimensions Width, Height and Length
A square-shape plot of land that is five acres would have four sides each measuring 466.69 feet long.
The linear dimensions of a plot of land are typically its length and width, sometimes referred to as the frontage. These dimensions determine the shape and boundaries of the plot, which can be used to calculate its area.
The US has 2,428,224,640 acres of land.
You can't tell the linear dimensions from the area. There are an infinite number of shapes that all have the same area. Even if you only consider rectangles, there are still an infinite number of rectangles, all with different dimensions, that all have areas of 2.5 acres. The only thing you know for sure from the area is the area. 2.5 acres = 108,900 square ft. The shortest possible length of fence to enclose 2.5 acres occurs when the plot is a square, 330-ft = 1/16th of a mile on a side. For the square, you need 1,320-ft of fence. For 2.5 acres in any rectangular shape: -- Pick one dimension. Call it 'D' in feet. -- The other dimension is (108,900 / D) feet. -- You'll need (2D + 217,800/D) feet of fence to enclose it.
ok - I was just looking for the same thing for the same reason and think I have come up with the answer. Assuming your 5 acres is rectanguar (2 acres accross and 2.5 acres deep) the dimensions should roughly be 416' x 520' (based on an acre being 208' and not an Irish acre which is about 60% larger than a US acre). I calculated a perimeter of 1,872', and at the cheapest I have found white vinyl fencing at $4.81 per foot - this works out to be just over $9,000!!! Think I'll start saving now :-(
5 acres of land make a football park
!8 acres make up the White House grounds.
114006 square miles times 640 acres in a square mile is 72,963,840 acres.
it takes about 50 acres to make a human happy
On average, a standard football stadium occupies about 10-15 acres of land. However, this can vary depending on the specific design and location of the stadium.
Acres are a measure of area, so linear feet cannot be used to form one.
You must own a minimum of 12 acres of land and make at the lowest 500 dollars off the land(taken from NJ Fish And Wildlife Laws And Regulations
