Sir.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so basically like u r given points and u gotta find the equation of the polynomial and plot it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like we jst did previously

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But suppose the points were colinnear wld it still work?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u have time for this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not for a polynomial of degree 2. Three co-linear points would mean that you could draw a straight line through your function that intersects the curve in three places, which is impossible with a quadratic.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i didnt even get the question lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought it meant s/t else

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1326445952982:dw| Doesn't work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Suppose four points lie on a common parabola. The method claims you should be able to determine a cubic, but what really happens?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1326446010363:dw| This could work though.
