Is it possible to obtain a correct equation by drawing a graph using data from any computer without tools>? Can someone help me get an exact equation that through the data provided, pencil and ruler?
Thank you
Im not sure how to respond.
All you can do on a computer, you can also do it on paper. A computer isn't able to do something more than man was already capable of doing when he designed and programmed the machine. The difference between a man and a computer is a computer is faster, but a human being is more creative and resourceful. A man may decide on a case by case basis algorithms to use any computer simply does the same thing and lighter.
As to derive a correct formula. Is it ever really possible to do such a thing? On the basis of raw data, ie statistical data, we can never be 100% sure of anything. We interpolate and extrapolate, and use mathematical models, and as accurate as we receive, we can never say it is "good." The statistics are quite on the probabilities, it is differences. There is always the accuracy and precision errors when observations decision, many empirical errors exist. And even if we have a very useful equation, as Newton's laws of motion, someone like Einstein comes with a new twist on reality. Do we ever really know something? If I were you, the search for identity of the philosophy of empiricism, epistemology and existentialism.
