Exploring Linear, Quadratic, and Exponential Regression with Desmos

The video tutorial covers different types of regressions: linear, quadratic, and exponential. It provides examples of how to perform linear and quadratic regressions using Desmos, including finding the line of best fit and solving for specific values. The tutorial also explains how to choose the appropriate regression model based on data characteristics and demonstrates using quadratic regression to maximize revenue. The video concludes with guidance on identifying the type of regression that best fits a given dataset.
