Introduction:The concept of degree of a polynomial is

important, because it give us information about the behavior of the polynomial on the whole. The concept of polynomial functions goes way back to Babylonian times, as a simple need of computing the area of a square is a polynomial, and is needed in buildings and surveys, fundamental to core civilization. Polynomials are used for fields relating to architecture, agriculture, engineering fields such as electrical and civil engineering, physics, and various other science related subjects.

Task 1: Find the polynomial that gives the following values

Write the system of equations in A, B, C, and D that you can use to find the desired

polynomial

Solve the system obtained from part a.

Solve the system obtained from part a.

Find the polynomial that represents the four ordered pairs.

Write the general form of the polynomial of degree 4 for 5 pairs

of numbers.
