To find: the polynomial function to model the given set of data.
Answer to Problem 36E
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
1.5 | 1 | 0.5 | 0 | 0.5 | 1 | 1.5 | 2 | 2.5 | |
9 | 8 | 6.5 | 4.3 | 2 | 2.7 | 4.1 | 6.1 | 7.8 |
Calculation:
Plot the points on the graph as shown below.
Now join the point to get a line of best fit as shown below.
Thus the polynomial function obtained from the line of best fit is as follows:
