To see what model best represents this data we have to plug in the values for x and y:
Model D :
x = 2, y = 1.959
y = 0.0000872 · 2³ - 0.00989 · 2² + 0.403 · 2 + 1.192 = 1.968
.... ...
x = 82, y = 15.817
y = 0.000873 · 82³ - 0.00989 · 82² + 0.403 · 82 + 1.192 = 15.818
Answer:
D ) y = 0.0000872 x² - 0.00989 x² + 0.403 x + 1.192
