    See the connection?

    Hey, I'm trying to figure out how to figure this out. (lol)

    Basically, I have a number, 22040, there is a matching number for it that I am trying to figure out.

    For example, I know 14100's matching number is 10674, and 12819's matching number is 15503, 6472's matching number is 12281.

    What's the connection, can anyone see it? I can't...

    Kind Regards
    Icyculyr

    -60312.2.


    Do a quadratic fit to the function a+bx+cx^2 to get something that passes through the three data points and extrapolate back to the number given. [The fit happens to be -37526.3 + 11.3249 x - 0.000560744 x^2].

    Of course this isn't right . Do you have more data points? And, you're certain there is a connection?
