A ship sails 8km due North and then a further 7km on a bearing 080°. How far is the ship now from the starting point?

Least square fit to polynomial write a function leastsquarefit3pol that solves a linear system of equations to find a least squares fit of a third order polynomial to an experimental data set given as two row arrays. the function leastsquarefit3pol must explicitly solve a set of linear equations and cannot use polyfit. there should be no restriction on the size of the problem that can be solved.
