Question
You use a video to create a graph of the position of Usain Bolt from the starting line vs time from the start of the race, and you get the graph shown below.You use the graph to calculate what his position would have been at a time of 6 s. This process is known as:Question 7Select one:a.Extrapolationb.Interpolationc.Linearisationd.Estimatione.Analysis
Solution
The process is known as extrapolation. Extrapolation is used to estimate values outside the known range from the existing set of values. In this case, you are trying to estimate Usain Bolt's position at a time of 6 seconds, which is presumably outside the range of the data you have.
