Hi, x={0,5,10,15,20,25}; f={-42,-37,-25,-6,15,36}; model=a+b*t+c*t^2; param=FindFit[Transpose[{x,f}],model,{a,b,c},t] Plot[Evaluate[model /. param],{t,0,25},Epilog-> Point /@ Transpose[{x,f}]] Regards Jens "T Harris" <tdh1967 at bellsouth.net> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:ea72lp$k6p$1 at smc.vnet.net... | Hello, | | | | I hope someone could tell me where to look to or if easy enough, to advise | me on how to use Mathemetica for the type of problem I have below. I | already have worked it and have the lower estimate to be -475 and the upper | estimate to be -85. I was hoping to put Mathematica to a practical use here | and I really don't know how to do this. I have typed the problem in | exactly as shown in James Stewart's, Calculus 5th Edition. | | | | Here it is: | | A table of values of an increasing function f is shown. Use the table to | find lower and upper estimates for f(x) dx. | | x | 0 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 | | f(x) | -42 | -37 | -25 | -6 | 15 | 36 | | | | | Thanks to anyone with advice. | | | T Harris | | |
