What is the degree of the function that generates the data shown?

 

xy31591302291003072112848224034482241d0=12848d1=3072229d2=10048130d3=1203159220d4=48350168450938873851247

 

y(x)=(x10)d0+(x11)d1+(x12)d2+(x13)d3+(x14)d4=(x10)(1)+(x11)30+(x12)100+(x13)120+(x14)48=1+ 30(x1)max degree 1+ 100(x12)(x21)max degree 2+ 120(x13)(x22)(x31)max degree 3+ 48(x14)(x23)(x32)(x41)max degree 4=2x43

 

expand see WolframAlpha:

 

 

If the difference di is constant, so the degree of the polynomial to calculate the coefficients is i.

d4=48 is constant, so the degree is 4

 

If the difference di is constant, so the degree of the polynomial to calculate the sum of the coefficients is i+1.
