<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: 37.56
What the fraction 1/100 is saying is it is dividing them 3756 by a 100.
3756/100= 37.56
4(pi)m^2 = 144(pi)
4m^2 = 144
m^2 = 36
m = 6cm
diameter = 2m
= 2(6)
= 12cm
5/38 is 0.13 because you have to divide them
