Answer:
y = 3.02x^3 -5.36x^2 +5.68x +8.66
Step-by-step explanation:
Your graphing calculator (or other regression tool) can solve this about as quickly as you can enter the numbers. If you have a number of regression formulas to work out, it is a good idea to become familiar with at least one tool for doing so.

If you're trying to do this by hand, the x- and y-values give you 4 equations in the 4 unknown coefficients.
a·1^3 +b·1^2 +c·1 +d = 12
a·3^3 +b·3^2 +c·3 +d = 59
a·6^3 +b·6^2 +c·6 +d = 502
a·8^3 +b·8^2 +c·8 +d = 1257
Solving this by elimination, substitution, or matrix methods is tedious, but not impossible. Calculators and web sites can help. The solutions are a = 317/105, b = -75/14, c = 1193/210, d = 303/35. Approximations to these values are shown above.
Answer:
416.87, you subtract all from gross pay.
Step-by-step explanation:
546.54-66-21.86-33.89-7.92=416.87
An <em>imaginary number</em>. The defining property of an imaginary number is that has the number i attached to it, where i² = -1.
A few examples of imaginary numbers: 3i, i, -7i, (√3)i, (1/2)i
