Question 983492
Please help me with the problem below: 
Write a cubic polynomial function that approximates the sine function on the interval -3.14 < x < 3.14 and has the same x-intercepts as y = sin x on this interval. 
---------
y-intercept at 0
zeroes at -3.14,0,+3.14
f(x) = -x(x^2-3.14^2)
------
