POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS PLEASE HELP!!!?

1: Which polynomial function best models the set of data below??

X= 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20

f(x)= 2, 5, 5, 4, 2, 0, -2, -2, 0, 5, 14

ANSWERS:

y=0.2x^3-0.4x^2+2.2x=2.0

y=2x^3-40x^2+217x+199

y=0.02x+0.40x^2+2.17x+1.99

y=0.02x-0.40x^2+2.17x+1.99

AND

2: Which polynomial function best models the set of data below??

X= -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

f(x)= -60, -10, 10, 15, 10, 0, -5, 0, 15, 50, 100

ANSWERS:

y=0.9x^3+4.9x^2+0.5x+14.4

y=0.9x^3-4.9x^2+0.5x+14.4

y=1.0x^3-4.9x^2-0.9x+17.5

y=0.9x^3-4.8x^2+1.2x+15.0

    i can only help on the second question because i think there are some symbols or values left out of question one.

    y=0.9x^3+4.9x^2+0.5x+14.4

    when x= 7

    answer = 566.7 --- soo NO

    y=0.9x^3-4.9x^2+0.5x+14.4

    when x = 7

    answer = 86.5 close but NO

    y=1.0x^3-4.9x^2-0.9x+17.5

    when x = 7

    answer = 114.1 --------NO

    y=0.9x^3-4.8x^2+1.2x+15.0

    when x = 7

    answer = 96.9 - Closest so YES

    check

    when x = 5

    answer = 13.5 - Close so Yes

    Hope This Helps
