A quadratic/cubic/quartic regression graph represents connection of the data points of a
scatter diagram. It uses the method of least squares to draw a curve that passes close to as
many data points as possible. The formula that represents this is quadratic/cubic/quartic
regression.

Quadratic regression
Model formula ..... y = ax 2 + bx + c
a ............. regression second coefficient
b ............. regression first coefficient
c ............. regression constant term (intercept)
Cubic regression
Model formula ..... y = ax 3 + bx 2 + cx + d
a ............. regression third coefficient
b ............. regression second coefficient
c ............. regression first coefficient
d ............. regression constant term (intercept)
Quartic regression
Model formula ..... y = ax 4 + bx 3 + cx 2 + dx + e
a ............. regression fourth coefficient
b ............. regression third coefficient
c ............. regression second coefficient
d ............. regression first coefficient
e ............. regression constant term (intercept)
