Use the given points to find the equation of the line of best fit (regression equation).

Enter your answer as y=ax^2+bx+c

The table shows the population of a town from 1996 to 2004. Assume that t is the number of years since 1996 and P is measured in thousands of people.
Which of the following is the model that best fits the data rounded to the nearest tenth? 

Based on the table, which function can best be used to model this situation?

• h(t) = 99t² + 858

• h(t) = -4.9t² + 295t + 0.6

• h(t) = -4.9t² + 295t + 2

• h(t) = 99t² + 1,470.3

Which of the following quadratic equations best represents the following data?

• y = 7x² - 3x

• y = 3x² - 2x + 1

• y = 6x² + 3x - 2

• y = 7x² - 3x + 1

Calculate the quadratic regression function for this table of values to the nearest tenth.

• f(x) =
   2x² - 9x + 10
• f(x)=
   3x² + 9x - 10
• f(x) =
   3.1x² - 9.2x - 10.3
• f(x) =
  2.1x² - 8.6x + 10.1
