4. Jupiter has a lot of moons. Here are the periods and distances of the Galilean moons, which were discovered in 1610: moon distance (thousands of km) period (days) lo 421.8 1.77 Europa 671.1 3.55 Ganymede 1070.4 7.16 Callisto 1882.7 16.69 Use the data to make a polynomial model of the relationship between period and distance for Jupiter's moons. b. Another moon of Jupiter, number LXXI, was discovered in 2018. Its distance from Jupiter is 11,483 thousand km. According to your model, what should its period be? c. The actual period of the moon is 252.0 days. How close was the prediction? What are some possible sources of error? 4. Jupiter has a lot of moons.
