5.8 Polynomial Models in the
Real World
(n+1) Point Principle
For any set of n+1 points in the coordinate plane that
pass the vertical line test, there is a unique polynomial
of degree at most n that fits the points perfectly.
(n+1) Point Principle
For any set of n+1 points in the coordinate plane that
pass the vertical line test, there is a unique polynomial
of degree at most n that fits the points perfectly.
Meaning: Any two points determine a unique line.
Three points that are not on a line determine a unique
parabola. Four points that are not on a line or a
parabola determine a unique cubic, etc.

Which of the two
graphs below do you
think accurately
describes the realworld situation?
Extrapolation and Interpolation
Interpolation: Estimating within the given domain (usually
using an equation).
Extrapolation: Estimating outside the given domain (using
an equation).
Interpolation is more reliable. Extrapolation
becomes less and less reliable the farther you
move from the data.
Use year 0 for 1900!

Questions on homework ?
We would have the least amount of confidence
in 2012 because it is not within our original
data.
