We then decided what would be an approximate constraint. In this case, we chose 17.8. We then implemented this constraint and used it in Column B. We also found the change in the growth by subtracting the length on day n from the length on day n+1 and input it into column C. We used column C as the x-values for a regression analysis, and column B as the y-values. The regression analysis was used to find the constant, k, in the formula for growth with a constraint. We then used this formula to model the growth of the sprout. The predicted values can be found in Column D. *Comparison has slope of 0.911. Our goal was a slope of 1.0.
