use least-squares regression to fit 

(a) a straight line, 

(b) a power equation, 

(c) a saturation-growth-rate equation, and

(d) a parabola. For (b) and (c), employ transformations to linearize the data. Plot the data along with all the curves. Is any one of the curves superior? If so, justify.
