Modeling Using a Polynomial Equation

Modeling Using a Polynomial Equation

For this discussion, you will find polynomial equations to model data.

Complete the following for your initial discussion post:

1.  find a new situation in which you have two variables whose relationship may be modeled using a polynomial equation. You will need data for the variables.
2. Create a Word document that contains the following elements:
   • Describe how and where you collected your data.
   • Explain what the data represent.
   • Tabulate and plot the data.
   • Find the equation of a polynomial model (such as cubic or quadratic, depending on which is the best fit).
   • Interpret the model and address how well the model fits the actual data.
3. Post your Word document as an attachment in this discussion.
