Fitting a polynomial to a graph.

If you have a set of results on a graph that appears to have a straight line of best fit you can use regression to obtain its algebraic equation.

But how can you do this if your results show a slight curve? How do you map a polynomial onto a graph using your results?

Thanks,

Rich

Using least-squares fitting.

Do a search on these forums if you want code. It must have come up many times before.
