这部分需要会什么?
- 结合单位解释线性模型中的系数
- 利用模型预测并理解交点
- 区分模型的代数范围与实际适用范围
核心概念与公式
在 \(y=mx+b\) 中,\(m\) 表示 \(x\) 每增加 1,预测的 \(y\) 增加 \(m\);若 \(m<0\),表示减少。\(b\) 是输入为零时的模型值,只有 \(x=0\) 在情境中有意义时,才能解释为实际初始值。
两个费用模型的交点表示费用相等的输入;零点表示模型输出降到零的输入。利用观测范围内的输入作预测叫插值;超出范围的外推需要格外注意模型是否仍然适用。
做题时怎样使用
- 先读清变量定义,例如 \(t\) 是某年之后的年数还是具体年份
- 把斜率翻译成带有“每”和单位的句子
- 代入预测输入,并检查是否落在合理的时间、数量或测量范围内
容易混淆的地方
模型中的负斜率表示每单位减少固定量,不是减少固定百分比。若时间单位从年变为月,系数也要随之改变。
用一个例题串起方法
知识点教学例题水箱余水量满足 \(V=120-8t\),其中 \(V\) 以升计、\(t\) 以分钟计。解释系数并求水箱何时排空。
展开解题思路 +
初始有 120 升水,每分钟减少 8 升。令 \(V=0\),得 \(t=15\)。排空前模型的实际时间范围为 \(0\le t\le15\),不能把负水量当作真实结果。
