I'm trying to do some least squares linear algebra. I built a matrix from 
lists that I converted into column vectors and used the 'augment' function. 
 I used the matrix to compute a least squares solution, and I have an 
solution vector, but it's type is making my life difficult.

When I type() an entry in the vector, I get:

'sage.modules.free_module_element.FreeModuleElement_generic_dense'

I want to pull the entries of this vector and use them as coefficients in a 
polynomial. My solution is the 3-vector I called x. This attempt at 
defining a quadratic

s=var('s')
f(s)=x[0]*s^2+x[1]*s+x[2]
plot(f(s),(s,0,2))

gives me this error

Error in lines 2-2 Traceback (most recent call last): File

I feel like I'm in type hell. Can someone help me get back into the right 
Universe for this work? My scouring of Google hasn't turned up anything 
helpful.
