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:
ZM = 8
WM = 12
XZ = 7
XN = 21
LZ = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
The centroid of a triangle is the point of intersection of the midpoint of the each of the three sides of a triangle. The centroid of a triangle is located inside the triangle and it is known as the center of gravity.
The centroid theorem for a triangle states that the centroid of a triangle is located at 2/3 of the distance from the vertex of the triangle of the middle of the opposite side.
ZM = (2/3)WM (centroid theorem)
Therefore: WZ = (1/3)WM
WM = 3WZ = 3 * 4 = 12
ZM = (2/3) * WM = 2/3 * 12 = 8
ZN = (2/3)XN (centroid theorem)
XN = (3/2)ZN = 3/2 * 14 = 21
XN = 21
XZ + ZN = XN
XZ + 14 = 21
XZ = 7
LZ = (2/3)LY (centroid theorem)
Therefore: ZY = (1/3)LY
LY = 3ZY = 3 * 10 = 30
LZ = (2/3) * LY = 2/3 * 30 = 20
