Equation 1: ΣY = na + bΣU

Used to find the equation of a line after converting a power curve into linear form. This equation represents the relationship between the sum of the dependent variable (Y) and the independent variable (U). It's used to solve for the constant term (a) in the linear equation.

Equation 2: ΣUY = aΣU + bΣU2

Used to find the equation of a line after converting a power curve into linear form. Represented as the relationship between the sum of the product of dependent and independent variables (UY), sum of the independent variable (U), and the sum of the squared independent variable (U2). It's used to solve for the slope term (b) in the linear equation.

Power curve: y = axb

This equation represents a power curve relationship, with 'y' as the dependent variable, 'x' as the independent variable, 'a' as a constant, and 'b' as the exponent.

Study Notes

Equation of Line

ΣY = na + bΣU
796.2 = 109 + b(0)
a = 79.62

Calculating 'b'

ΣUY = aΣU + bΣU²
1016.8 = a(0) + b(330)
b = 1016.8 / 330
b = 3.08

Final Equation

y = 79.62 + 3.08U

Data Conversion to Linear

y = ax^b
log y = log a + blog x
U = log a + bV (where V = log x)
This is a linear equation in U and V. This normal equation allows for the estimation of a and b.
