256 Polynomial Functions<br />

35. (a) The scatter plot is shown below with each of the three regression models.<br />

(b) The quadratic model is P 2 (x) =−0.02x 2 +0.241x +0.956 with R 2 =0.77708.<br />

The cubic model is P 3 (x) =0.005x 3 − 0.103x 2 +0.602x +0.573 with R 2 =0.98153.<br />

The quartic model is P 4 (x) =−0.000969x 4 +0.0253x 3 − 0.240x 2 +0.944x +0.330 with<br />

R 2 =0.99929.<br />

(c) The maximums predicted by the three models are P 2 (5.737) ≈ 1.648, P 3 (4.232) ≈ 1.657<br />

and P 4 (3.784) ≈ 1.630, respectively.<br />

y = P 2 (x) y = P 3 (x) y = P 4 (x)
