y = –0.0000541x3 + 0.00789x2 – 0.452x – 1.888
y = –0.0000541 x 3 + 0.00789 x 2 – 0.452 x – 1.888

y = –0.0000541x3 – 0.00789x2 – 0.452x + 1.888
y = –0.0000541 x 3 – 0.00789 x 2 – 0.452 x + 1.888

y = 0.00789x3 – 0.0000541x2 + 1.888x + 0.452
y = 0.00789 x 3 – 0.0000541 x 2 + 1.888 x + 0.452

y = 0.0000541x3 – 0.00789x2 + 0.452x + 1.888

Answer 1
