<span>Using processing software (Excel) or even a decent scientific calculator. You input the values and generate the best fit cubic equation.
For number 1, the equation is
y = 8x10</span>⁻⁵ x³ - 0.0097 x² + 0.374 x + 1.083
where x is the number of years since 1900
y is the pounds cheese consumed
For number 2, the equation is
y = -3x10⁻⁵ x³ + 0.0028 x² + 0.2155 x + 1.7736
For number 3
P(-1) = 18
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the x-coordinate, substitute y = 8 into the equation abd solve for x
5x - 7 = 8 ( add 7 to both sides )
5x = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 3
Thus (3, 7) is a solution to the equation
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
5 · · 5 · 4
Simplify both sides of the equation.
Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation.
Divide each term by 2 and simplify.

Substitute x for 6
Multiply 3 · 6
Add 18 + 9
Divide ÷ 27
9 = 9
