Find the least squares approximation of the the data (0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 1/2) (3, 3) using the quadratic function p(x) = a_0 + a_1 x + a_2 x^2. plot p(x) along with the data to compare.

The required function is .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data points are (0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 1/2) and (3, 3).

Let the quadratic function is defined as

             .... (1)

Using graphing calculator, we get

Substitute , and in function (1), to find the quadratic function.

Therefore the required function is .

The graph of data points and quadratic function is shown below.

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
