- The bar graph shows the differences among age groups on the Implicit Association Test that measures levels of racial prejudice. Higher scores indicate stronger bias. Solve, a. The data can be described by the following polynomial model of degree 3: S = 0.2x3 - 1.5x2 + 3.4x + 25 + (0.1x3 - 1.3x2 + 3.3x + 5). In this polynomial model, S represents the score on the Implicit Association Test for age group x. Simplify the model. b.

- Suppose experimental data are represented by a set of points in the plane. An interpolating polynomial for the data is a polynomial whose graph passes through every point. In scientific work, such a polynomial can be used, for example, to estimate values between the known data points. Another use is to create curves for graphical images on a computer screen. One method for finding an interpolating polynomial is to solve a system of linear equations.
