A simple curve that often makes a good model for the variable costs of a company, as a function of the sales level x, has the form: y = B\x + Bx² + B3x² (no constant term because we are not looking at fixed costs) Find the best Least-Squares curve of the form above that fits to the data: (4, 1.58), (6,2.08), (8,2.5), (10, 2.8), (12, 3.1), (14, 3.4) , (16, 3.8) and (18, 4.32). Hint: construct your matrix as y= b1x+b2x2+b3x3.... bnxn

Am I solving correctly? I don’t really remember how to derive the AC equation or graph these values that I have found.
The profit of a company, in dollars, is the difference between the company's revenue and cost. The cost, C(x), and revenue, R(x), are functions for a particular company. The x represents the number of items produced and sold to distributors. C(x) = 2500 + 60x R(x) = 800x - x? a) Determine the maximum profit of the company. The maximum profit of the company is b) Determine the number of items that must be produced and sold to obtain the maximum profit.
