The figure above shows the plot of the points (1, 2), (2, 8), (3, 7), (4, 4), and (7, 6). Find a polynomial of degree 4 of the form f(x) = ax^4 + bx^3 + cx^2 + dx + e whose graph passes through these points. f(x) = Hint: You may want to consider using a computer algebra system to assist in the computation.
