PROBLEM
48. ANS:
Calculating first and second differences shows that the function is quadratic.
(Second differences = 2)
This means that the leading coefficient is
2 = a(2!)
a = 1
Since the zeros are evident at x = –3 and x = 2, the polynomial has the form y = a(x + 3)(x – 2). Substituting the value of a, the answer is y = (x + 3)(x – 2).
Many other solutions are possible.

49. ANS:
Calculating first, second, third, and fourth differences shows that the function is quartic.
(Fourth differences = 24)
This means that the leading coefficient is
[pic]
Notice that this is an even function. Therefore, the polynomial must have the form
[pic]. Substituting the value of a, the equation becomes [pic].
Clearly, [pic], since the point (0, 1) in the table of values represents the y-intercept. So, now the equation is [pic].
Substituting the point (1, 3), for example, into this equation yields [pic].
The answer then is [pic].
Many other solutions are possible.
