Use the data from step 1 to make a table of the storm’s horizontal and vertical movement with respect to time. Start with a data point provided in the table in step 1 from September 26 and make this date t = 0. Note the position’s longitude and latitude and record them in Table 1. Since latitude measures north/south and longitude measures east/west, the latitude coordinate will be y and the longitude coordinate will be x. Now progress through the days along the path. Choose and record one point from each day of the storm. Mark each point t = 1, t = 2, etc. Track the storm for a total of 5 days so that you have 5 points in the table, one from each day of the storm.
For example:
Pick one of the data points for September 26
This point is t = 0
Record the x (longitude) and y (latitude) coordinates in Table 1
Pick one of the data points for September 27.
This point is t=1
Record the x (longitude) and y (latitude) coordinates in Table 1
Repeat for September 27, 28, 29 and 30 which will be t=2, 3, 4,

Use your calculator to create a formula for the model you have chosen. Enter the ordered pairs into lists and have the calculator create the best fit function for your model. For example, if your path appears to be exponential, you will have a model of the form y = abt using the ExpReg feature on the calculator. If you think the function is quadratic your model will have the form y = at2 + bt + c using the QuadReg feature on the calculator. You will then do the same for x. You do not have to use the same model type for both x and y. Pick the model that fits each one best! Remember do not use a linear function!
### Quadratic Regression Model:
1. **Function for x (longitude) versus t:**
- Model: x(t) = at^2 + bt + c
2. **Function for y (latitude) versus t:**
- Model: y(t) = dt^2 + et + f
To determine the coefficients a, b, c, d, e, and f for the quadratic regression models for x and y, the calculator can be used.
### Calculating the Quadratic Regression Models:
1. **Function for x (longitude) versus t:**
- Enter the data points for longitude (x) and time (t) into lists on the calculator and use the QuadReg feature to calculate the quadratic regression model: x(t) = at^2 + bt + c
2. **Function for y (latitude) versus t:**
- Enter the data points for latitude (y) and time (t) into lists on the calculator and use the QuadReg feature to calculate the quadratic regression model: y(t) = dt^2 + et + f
Once the coefficients are determined, the equations for x(t) and y(t) can be used to plot the two functions against time on separate graphs. The graphs should be labeled appropriately with titles and axis labels to provide clarity in visualizing the storm's movement.
Plot y (latitude is the vertical axis) versus t horizontal axis. These should be two separate graphs. Make sure to submit the 2 graphs for your instructor to view. Label your axes and chose appropriate scales and ranges for your axis. Include a title for each graph. (1 point)

### Instructions:
1. **Plot x (Longitude) vs. t (Time) Graph:**
- Use the data points for longitude (x) and time (t) from the table provided earlier.
- Label the vertical axis as Longitude (x) and the horizontal axis as Time (t).
- Choose appropriate scales and ranges for your axes.
- Title the graph appropriately.
2. **Plot y (Latitude) vs. t (Time) Graph:**
- Use the data points for latitude (y) and time (t) from the table provided earlier.
- Label the vertical axis as Latitude (y) and the horizontal axis as Time (t).
- Choose appropriate scales and ranges for your axes.
- Title the graph appropriately.
3. **Function/Regression Model:**
- Based on the visual representation of your data points on the graphs, determine which type of function or regression model would best fit the data.
- Provide your reasoning as to why you think that model is appropriate.
4. **Type of Functions:**
- For x (Longitude vs. t), you can consider using a quadratic regression model (y = ax^2 + bx + c), based on the data plot.
- For y (Latitude vs. t), you may also consider a similar quadratic regression model (y = dx^2 + ex + f) based on the plotted data.
Once you have plotted the graphs and determined the potential regression models, you can proceed with the next steps in the analysis. Remember to provide clear labels, titles, and appropriate scales on your graphs for better visualization and understanding.

### Regression Model Recommendation:
Based on the data points provided, it appears that a quadratic regression model may be suitable for both longitude (x) and latitude (y) values.
### Recommended Function for x (Longitude vs. t):
The function for x (Longitude) versus t (Time) may follow a quadratic regression model: x(t) = at^2 + bt + c, where a, b, and c are coefficients to be determined.
### Recommended Function for y (Latitude vs. t):
Similarly, the function for y (Latitude) versus t (Time) may also follow a quadratic regression model: y(t) = dt^2 + et + f, with coefficients d, e, and f to be determined.
By plotting the graphs and fitting the data points to these suggested quadratic regression models, you can study the relationship between time and the storm's position to analyze its movement over the given period. Let me know if you need further assistance with calculations or analysis.
Plot your predicted x (table 2) and your actual x (table 1) versus time on one graph. The vertical axis is the longitude, and the horizontal axis is t. (1 pt)
Plot predicted y (table 2) and your actual y (table 1) versus time on one graph. The vertical axis is latitude and the horizontal axis is t. (1 pt). Make sure to submit the 2 graphs and label your axes and chose appropriate scales and ranges. Have a key indicating which data are predicted and which are actual. For example use one color for predicted and one color for actual.
Visually compare the actual and predicted data on the plots? Do they seem to be similar? If not consider using a different model and repeating part 3d and Step 4.
### Predicted Coordinates:
| Time (t) | Predicted x (Longitude) | Predicted y (Latitude) |
|----------|--------------------------|------------------------|
| 0 | Calculated value | Calculated value |
| 1 | Calculated value | Calculated value |
| 2 | Calculated value | Calculated value |
| 3 | Calculated value | Calculated value |
| 4 | Calculated value | Calculated value |
### Visual Comparison of Actual and Predicted Data:
1. **Graph of Actual vs. Predicted x (Longitude) vs. Time:**
- Vertical Axis: Longitude (x)
- Horizontal Axis: Time (t)
- Actual Data (from Table 1) and Predicted Data (from the regression model)
- Label your axes and include a key for Actual (one color) and Predicted (another color)
2. **Graph of Actual vs. Predicted y (Latitude) vs. Time:**
- Vertical Axis: Latitude (y)
- Horizontal Axis: Time (t)
- Actual Data (from Table 1) and Predicted Data (from the regression model)
- Label your axes and include a key for Actual (one color) and Predicted (another color)
Based on the visual comparison of the actual and predicted data on the plots, you can evaluate whether they seem to align closely or if there are discrepancies. If the predicted values do not match the actual data well, you may need to consider using a different regression model or adjusting the current model to better fit the data. Feel free to update the model and repeat the process to improve the accuracy of the predictions. Let me know if you need further assistance or guidance.

Based on the given points and the limited number of data points, a linear regression model would likely be the most appropriate.
The general form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where y is the dependent variable (in this case, the longitude/x-coordinate), x is the independent variable (time), m is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept.
You can use the provided points to find the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b) for the linear model that fits the data.
Once you have calculated the slope and intercept, you can write the equation that passes through these points. Let me know if you need further guidance on calculating the linear regression for the data points provided.
