For each of the sets of data that follows, use the least squares approximation to find the best fits with both (i) a linear function and (ii) a quadratic function. Compute the error in both cases. (a)(b)(c)
Solution
VerifiedStep 1
1 of 7a)
i)
First, we need to find the matrix of the system and the right-hand side.
Now, we find the solution to the system
Which means that the linear approximation of this data is given with
and the error is computed as
