Model With Quadratic

Based on this pattern, would a Linear or Quadratic model be most appropriate?

• Quadratic

• Linear

Find the best fitting quadratic model for the data given.

• y = 1.2x² + 13x + 504.3

• y = 12x² + 13x + 504.3

• y = .12x² + 1.3x + 504.3

Calculate the Curve of Best Fit for this table of values:

• y = 2x² - 9x + 10

• y = 3x² + 9x - 10

• y = 3.1x² - 9.2x - 10.3

• y = 2.1x² - 8.6x + 10.1

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
