1.take the first 3 equations and model them as closely as you can with a single polynomial function.

2. if these 3 equations are represented with a single function, what degree would this function be, why ?

3. determine an equation for this function.

the three equations are

i) f(x) =-(x-12)^2 + 8 - 4

ii)f(x) = (x-16)^2 - 4

iii)f(x) = 6 - (2x-40.3)^2 + 12.4

4. graph the single function created along with the orignal three functions on the same grid, if there are any differences, why ?
