Question: Math Help??!!?
The rod has a fishing rod with eight guides, plus a guide at the tip of the rod.
Leo has a fishing rod with overall length 230 cm. The table shown below gives the distances for each of the line guides from the tip of his fishing rod.
Guide number(from tip) = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
Distance from tip(cm) = 10, 23, 38, 55, 74, 96, 120, 149Find a polynomial function which passes through every data point. Explain your choice of function, and discuss its reasonablenesss. On a new set of axes, draw this model function and the original data points. Comment on any differences.
Answer: Let f(x) be the distance from the rod's tip as a function of guide number.
f(1) = 10
f(2) = 23
f(3) = 38etc.
look at the differences between these: f(2) - f(1) = 15, f(3)-f(2) = 17, f(4) - f(3) = 19, etc.
Now look at the differences between THESE. They're all two. Since after two steps of looking at the differences we've reached a repeating answer, we know that f(x) is a quadratic. (this is explained better at http://www.purplemath.com/modules/nextnumb.htm )
We now know that f(x) is of the form aX^2 + bX + c
We know 1^2A + 1B + C = 10 and 2^2A + 2B + C = 23 and 3^2A + 3B + C = 38. This gives us a system of equations, so we can solve for A, B, and C
A + B + C = 10
4A + 2B + C = 23
9A + 3B + C = 38Solve this and find that A = 1, B = 10, C = -1
So our function is X^2 + 10X -1
Edit:
Also, the guide at the tip of the rod will not necessarily fit the model (and it doesn't) because it isn't placed according to the function.
Another thing, I think 95 and 118 were intended in the original problem statement instead of 96 and 120. With 96 and 120 in there you would get a complicated fifth degree polynomial, which I doubt was the intention.

Question: How are the guides on a fishing rod positioned?
The guide on the fishing rod is positioned so that between the ones closer to the tip has a shorter distance than those between the ones further away from the rod. The distance between 2 guides are getting bigger and bigger from the tip of the fishing rod.
1)Why are they position that way and how does it help fishing?
2)Does the length of the fishing rod affect fishing? How?
3)What is the purpose of having guides?Thank you for your time =)
Answer: 1. The guides are spaced so the line doesn't go around an especially sharp corner when it goes through each of them when the rod is bent. This reduces wear on the line (as well as wear on the guides), and reduces friction which adds to the drag if a fish is taking line.
In addition, on a saltwater conventional rod (which is used with the reel and the guides on top) the guides are positioned to keep the line from rubbing on the rod between the guides.
2. The length of the fishing rod affects casting distance and the leverage you use when pulling on a heavy fish. Longer rods will cast further, while shorter rods will make it easier to lift heavy fish. So surf fishing rods tend to be long (sometimes 12 feet or more) while big game rods tend to be short (6 feet or less at times).
3. The purpose of having guides -- I assume you're thinking of a rod with only a tip guide. The guides keep the line from flying out of control when casting -- especially with a spinning reel (I tried this once when building a rod as a kid -- I put on the tip guide and a reel, and tried casting, and got a mess with line wrapping around the rod blank about halfway up). They also, as described in #1 above, keep the line from going around tight corners and wearing out quickly, as well as keeping the line coming into the reel from (pretty much) directly in front of it.
If you're thinking of running the line through the center of a hollow fishing rod -- even if the inside was smooth, there would be so much friction the outfit would be nearly unusable.
Spinning rods tend to have fewer guides, since they don't have to keep the line from rubbing on the blank, and larger ones (especially the first guide) to reduce friction when casting, as the line spins off the reel. Casting and conventional rods usually have more, and smaller, guides.
