The data in the accompanying table show the speed n (in increments of 5 mph) of an automobile and the associated distance an in feet required to stop it once the brakes are applied. For instance, n = 6 (representing 6 × 5 = 30 mph) requires a stopping distance of a6 = 47 ft.
a. Calculate and plot the change Δanversus n. Does the graph reasonably approximate a linear relationship?
b. Based on your conclusions in part (a), find a difference equation model for the stopping distance data. Test your model by plotting the errors in the predicted values against n. Discuss the appropriateness of the model.
