Question 350205
If you have data and want to fit a curve, first step is to graph the data.
{{{drawing(300,300,-2,8,-1000,15000,
circle(1,14000,0.3),
circle(2,9100,0.3),
circle(3,4000,0.3),
circle(4,4000,0.3),
circle(5,3000,0.3),
graph(300,300,-2,8,-1000,15000))}}}

If you have to find the linear, exponential, and quadratic model to fit the data, the quickest and easiest way is to use EXCEL's Chart Wizard, then fit a trendline using a linear, exponential, and quadratic model. When you "Add Trendline" click on the Options tab to display the equation on the chart. Then you'll have all of the coefficients for the equation.
