closer the R2 value is to 1 the better it will fit the graph. We will rearrange the equation y= ax2 + bx +c so that we can solve for the unknowns which are‚ the letters a‚ b and c. To do this‚ we need to add data to the equation and create three matrices. In order to continue on‚ let us first add the known values to the equation. Given y= ax2 + bx +c ‚ we know that the y-values are China’s population
