The degree of is odd and a < 0, so (x) + as x and (x) as x + .. . . . . . . . . .To decide whether y-values for equally-spaced x-values can be modeled by apolynomial function, you can use Finding Finite DifferencesThe first three triangular numbers are shown at the right.
Page 1 of 2 6.9 Modeling with Polynomial Functions 381 In Example 2 notice that the function has degree two and that the second-order differences are constant. This illustrates the first property of finite differences.
