Hi Séan, when I mutliply the teo M values together, prior to integrating; Im getting coefficient of -64.2 for x^2 and not -63.7. Would you have any idea why I’m getting this wrong as all the other coefficients are correct. Thank you

Hey @AMK_Consulting_Engin

Apologies for the delay in replying to your post.

The coefficient of x^2 is actually +64.2 (so we were both half right :wink:)

The full polynomial is…
-7.5x^3 + 64.2x^2 - 79.5x - 270

Thanks for spotting and posting!

Seán
