Question

I need help with this Linear Algebra problem, I also put an example, I suspect this is somewhat whatthey want  in this question, but I am nor sure and need help starting it. How should I approach this problem?

Thank you?

EXAMPLE 2 Polynomial Curve Fitting
See LarsonLinearAlgebra.com for an interactive version of this type of example.
Find a polynomial that fits the points
(-2, 3), (-1, 5), (0, 1), (1, 4), and (2, 10).
SOLUTION
You are given five points, so choose a fourth-degree polynomial function
p(x) = a₁ + a₁x + α₂x² + α3x³ + à¸xª.
Substituting the points into p(x) produces the system of linear equations shown below.

The solution of these equations is
a₁ = 1, a₁ = -√, A₂ = 24, az = ³/1, A4 = -
=-12-17
Figure 1.5 shows the graph of p.
which means the polynomial function is
p(x) = 1 − ²x + 101x² + x³ – 17x4.
