Refer to the vandamore code below for reference and approach. The activity of the sun ( sunspots , solar flares, and coronal mass ejection )

Refer to the vandamore code below for reference and approach. The activity of the sun (sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejection) fluctuates in
cycles of around 10-11 years. Sunspot activity can be modelled by the function ?1 :
N(x)=57.7sin[0.602(x-1.43)]+58.8,
where x is the number of years since January 1,1997, and N(x) is the number of sunspots
observed at time x.
The table below shows the value of N(x) for 10 distinct values of x. Modify the Octave code
we developed (in the relevant MAT212 Tutorial) for the Vandermonde method to answer the
question that follows, please find the code below. Your code must make use of the format long command and 7 decimal
place rounding.
**If P9(x)=i=09aixi is the unique interpolating polynomial for N(x) at the x-values shown
in the table, then what are the values of the coefficients ai,i=0,1,dots,9? Write them down
on your answer script. The relevant MAT212 tutorial code ifollows the question.
