This document describes using linear regression and the least squares method to fit a linear equation to nonlinear data. It shows converting a nonlinear equation to linear form, tabulating the data, and using formulas to calculate the slope (m) and y-intercept (c) of the best fit line. The calculated m and c values are then compared to the original nonlinear equation to check the linear approximation.

Method 2

Linear Regression
Before applying linear regression, the equation from the question has to be
converted from non-linear to linear equation.

+ 2 =
= 2 +

= +

Equation 1

Where,

Method 3
Least Square Lines
The general equation for a straight line is = + . The formula below is used to
find

Sum of t 7.25
Sum of y 2.25
Sum of t*(y/t) 2.40
sum of x^2 12.56
Table 3

Substituting the values from table 3 into equation 1 and 2, the values of and is
obtained

5(2.4) (7.25)(2.255556)
=
5(12.5625) (7.25)2
= 0.4247
2.255556 (0.4247)(7.25)
