Calculus 3 Worksheet 2
Second Order Test and Lagrange Multipliers
In the following, we will guide you step-by-step through the process of finding the best-fitting exponential function $f(x) = e^{mx} + k$ for the set of data points ${(0,2),(1,3),(2,5),(4,6)}$ using the method of least squares. First, we will define the error function $E(m,k)$ (Hint: $E(m,k)=\sum_{i=1}^4(f(x_i)-y_i)^2$ where $(x_i,y_i)$ is a data...
