To obtain the coefficients of the second order polynomial that best fits a given set of x and y data, you will type the following sequence of commands:
A)Coefficients = polyfit(2, x,y)
B)Coefficients = polyfit(x,2,y)
C)Coefficients = polyfit(x,y,2)
D)none of the above

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The command "polyfit(x,y,2)" will fit a second order polynomial (i.e. quadratic) to the data in x and y, and return the coefficients of that polynomial. The function will take the x and y values as inputs, followed by the degree of the polynomial to fit (in this case, 2).
