Math Problem Statement

Use technology to find the quadratic regression curve through the given points: (0, 0), (-3, 3), (2, 2), (-5, 5). Round all coefficients to four decimal places.

Solution

The task requires finding a quadratic regression curve that fits the given points: (0,0)(0, 0), (3,3)(-3, 3), (2,2)(2, 2), and (5,5)(-5, 5). The equation of a quadratic function is generally:

y(x)=ax2+bx+cy(x) = ax^2 + bx + c

To find the coefficients aa, bb, and cc, I will use quadratic regression. Let me calculate it.The quadratic regression equation that fits the given points (0,0)(0, 0), (3,3)(-3, 3), (2,2)(2, 2), and (5,5)(-5, 5) is:

y(x)=0.2x2+0.0828x+0.7241y(x) = 0.2x^2 + 0.0828x + 0.7241

Would you like further details or have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions for practice:

  1. How would the regression change if another point was added to the dataset?
  2. How does the least squares method find the best-fitting quadratic curve?
  3. Can quadratic regression be applied to non-parabolic datasets effectively?
  4. How do outliers affect the accuracy of quadratic regression?
  5. What are the differences between linear and quadratic regression?

Tip: Always ensure that your dataset is appropriate for quadratic modeling before applying quadratic regression. If the data isn't parabolic, consider alternative models.
