2short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.

What is q1?
Show answer
A measurement is 10 at x = 5, 20 at x = 10, and 30 at x = 15, rising steadily. Predict the value at x = 20 and say whether this is interpolation or extrapolation. [2 points]
What is q2?
Show answer
A rate peaked at a certain temperature and then fell. Why would extending the original rising line overestimate the rate at a much higher temperature? [2 points]
