Curve with Curve. Fitting with Polynomial Models • How do we use finite differences to determine the degree of a polynomial that will fit a given set of data? • How do we use technology to find polynomial models for a given set of data? Holt Mc. Dougal Algebra 2 Algebra 22 Holt Mc. Dougal
Curve Fitting with Polynomial Models The table shows the closing value of a stock index on the first day of trading for various years. To create a mathematical model for the data, you will need to determine what type of function is most appropriate. In Lesson 12 -2, you learned that a set of data that has constant second differences can be modeled by a quadratic function. Finite difference can be used to identify the degree of any polynomial data. Holt Mc. Dougal Algebra 2
