Bad Example of Linearized Regression

Computer Methods in Chemical Engineering


Problem Statement: An enzyme kinetics experiment yields the following data:

    --------------------------------
         s                  r
    reactant conc.     reaction rate
       (g/L)              g/L-h
    --------------------------------
         1                  1
         2                  4
         3                  5
         4                  6
         5                  6
    --------------------------------
Find the constants a and b in the following rate expression that best describe the above data.
           a*s
     r = -------
          b + s
