Problem 1 (40 pts): P(x) function values against x values were obtained experimentally as follows: Polynomial Regression Expression A simple polynomial is often used as an empirical correlation equation. This can be written in general form as: P(x)=a0+a1x+a2x2+a3x3++anxn Here a0an are the parameters, also called coefficients, to be determined by regression, and n is the degree of the polynomial. Typically, when using the least-squares objective function, the degree of polynomial that provides the best data correlation is chosen. a) Assuming x is the independent variable and P is the dependent variable, relate (obtain a set of equations with 3 unknowns) the data using the 2 nd Order Polynomial Regression method.
