1. Solve the following system of equations:
5x + 4y − 2z + 5.7 t − w = .5 12 x − 2y − 5t = −7 x − 2y + πz − 6t = 2 − 9 = −8 y w 2x − 5z + 3 7t +12w = 9.8
2. Find by (a) polynomial regression and (b) matrices (giving the matrices used) the equation of the polynomial of least degree that goes through the four points: (-2, 7) (1, 8) (2, -3) (5, 6)
3. Using Super Bowl number as independent variable and ticket price as dependent variable, perform several (at least three) regressions of different types on the data. Which of these is the best model? What does this model predict the ticket price will be for Super Bowl XXXXII (42)?
