What is Quadratic Regression?

Back

Quadratic regression is a type of regression analysis used to model the relationship between a dependent variable and an independent variable by fitting a quadratic equation to the data.

What is the general form of a quadratic equation?

Back

The general form of a quadratic equation is y = ax² + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants.

What is Exponential Regression?

Back

Exponential regression is a type of regression analysis used to model data that grows or decays at a constant percentage rate, fitting an exponential function to the data.

How do you interpret the slope in a linear regression equation?

Back

The slope in a linear regression equation represents the change in the dependent variable for each one-unit increase in the independent variable.

Front

What does the y-intercept represent in a linear regression equation?

Back

The y-intercept represents the value of the dependent variable when the independent variable is zero.

What is the purpose of finding a line of best fit?

Back

The purpose of finding a line of best fit is to summarize the relationship between variables and make predictions based on the data.

What is the significance of the coefficient 'a' in a quadratic equation?

Back

The coefficient 'a' in a quadratic equation determines the direction of the parabola; if 'a' is positive, the parabola opens upwards, and if 'a' is negative, it opens downwards.
