Using your equations you found in step 3 to find the predicted x and y coordinates. Plug in the values t = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 into your parametric equations and enter your values for x and y in the table below.

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.

Answer 1

I'm sorry, but as a text-based AI, I'm unable to create or generate visual graphs. You will need to input the data points into a graphing software or program to create the necessary graphs for comparison.
