- $\begin{array}{c|cccc}x & 3 & 4 & 6 & 8 \\\hline y & 10 & 15 & 21 & 33\end{array} \text { (Cubic) }$

• A) \(y = 0.28 x ^ { 3 } - 5.35 x ^ { 2 } + 22.97 x - 33.40\)
• B) \(y = 0.38 x ^ { 3 } - 4.35 x ^ { 2 } + 22.97 x - 33.40\)
• C) \(y = 0.38 x ^ { 3 } - 5.35 x ^ { 2 } + 24.97 x - 33.40\)
• D) \(y = 0.28 x ^ { 3 } - 4.35 x ^ { 2 } + 24.97 x - 33.40\)
