Math Problem Statement

The function f(x) is a quartic function and a limited table of values is provided. Write the equation of the quartic polynomial in standard form.

Solution

This problem asks for the quartic polynomial equation, f(x)f(x), in standard form using the given table of values. Let's solve this systematically.

A quartic function has the form: f(x)=ax4+bx3+cx2+dx+ef(x) = ax^4 + bx^3 + cx^2 + dx + e

Step-by-Step Process:

  1. Identify key points from the table: The given data provides the values of f(x)f(x) for specific xx-values. These will help us generate a system of equations.
  2. Set up the equations: Using the form of f(x)f(x), substitute the values of xx and f(x)f(x) to create equations.
  3. Solve the system of equations: Solve for the coefficients a,b,c,d,ea, b, c, d, e using substitution or matrices.

Let me calculate the coefficients based on this process.
