Through n +1 points passing polynomial of degree n.
In this case you have 7 points.
Polynomial will be degree 6.
Write the polynomial in this form :
a * x ^ 6 + b * x ^ 5 + c * x ^ 4 + d * x ^ 3 + e * x ^ 2 + f *x + g = y
Now put values of x an y in this equation.
a * ( - 3 ) ^ 6 + b * ( - 3 ) ^ 5 + c * ( - 3 ) ^ 4 + d * ( - 3 ) ^ 3 + e * ( - 3 ) ^ 2 + f * ( - 3 ) + g = 0
a * ( - 2 ) ^ 6 + b * ( - 2 ) ^ 5 + c * ( - 2 ) ^ 4 + d * ( - 2 ) ^ 3 + e * ( - 2 ) ^ 2 + f * ( - 2 ) + g = 4
a * ( - 1 ) ^ 6 + b * ( - 1 ) ^ 5 + c * ( - 1 ) ^ 4 + d * ( - 1 ) ^ 3 + e * ( - 1 ) ^ 2 + f * ( - 1 ) + g = 0
a * 0 ^ 6 + b * 0 ^ 5 + c * 0 ^ 4 + d * 0 ^ 3 + e * 0 ^ 2 + f * 0 + g = - 6
a * 1 ^ 6 + b * 1 ^ 5 + c * 1 ^ 4 + d * 1 ^ 3 + e * 1 ^ 2 + f * 1 + g = - 8
a * 1 ^ 6 + b * 1 ^ 5 + c * 1 ^ 4 + d * 1 ^ 3 + e * 1 ^ 2 + f * 1 + g = - 8
a * 2 ^ 6 + b * 2 ^ 5 + c * 2 ^ 4 + d * 2 ^ 3 + e * 2 ^ 2 + f * 2 + g = 0
a * 3 ^ 6 + b * 3 ^ 5 + c * 3 ^ 4 + d * 3 ^ 3 + e * 3 ^ 2 + f * 3 + g = 24
OR
729 a - 243 b + 81 c - 27 d + 9 e - 3 f + g = 0
64 a - 32 b + 16 c - 8 d + 4 e - 2 f + g = 4
a - b + c - d + e - f + g = 0
0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + g = - 6
a + b + c + d + e + f + g = - 8
64 a + 32 b + 16 c + 8 d + 4 e + 2 f + g = 0
729 a + 243 b + 81 c + 27 d + 9 e + 3 f + g = 24
Solutions of this system of equations are :
a = 0
b = 0
c = 0
d = 1
e = 2
f = - 5
g = - 6
Your Polynomial :
y = 0 * x ^ 6 + 0 * x ^ 5 + 0 * x ^ 4 + 1 * x ^ 3 + 2 * x ^ 2 + ( - 5 ) * x + ( - 6 )
y = x ^ 3 + 2 x ^ 2 - 5 x - 6
That is cubic parabola.
The following set of points belong to a specific function:
{(-3,0)(-2,4), (-1,0), (0,-6),(1,-8), (2,0),(3,24)}
