    This document discusses modeling data with polynomial functions. It provides examples of writing cubic and quadratic functions to fit datasets, using finite differences to determine the degree of a polynomial function that fits data, and asks how real-world data may not fit perfectly into polynomial models. It concludes by discussing using polynomial functions to model real-world applications.

    9 Modeling with Polynomial Functions



    Example 1: Writing a Cubic Function

    Write a cubic function whose graph is shown.
























    #FBF
    Finite Differences.

    Lets think back to Chapter 2. Recall how we could determine if a function was quadratic.


















    Example 2: Writing a Function Using Finite Differences

    Use finite differences to determine the degree of the polynomial function that fits the data.

































    Try on your own:














    Lets Think of the Big Picture


    Do you think that in the real world the data sets will fit exactly like the data points?

    How do you think we could model something that is not in a perfect cubic function?



    Example 3: Real World Applications:
