I am having trouble understanding how to code this problem. I have a certain model y(x) = a1 + a2*x + a3*x^2. I need to create a function that computes the parameters a(i) for i = [1 2 3]. I am given the values of x and y is computed in a separate protected function file. However, I don't understand how you compute the parameters if you don't know the specific values of y for specific values of x. I thought maybe you have to call the separate function within the function I am creating, but that's not how it works. If I was given y and x then I could easily compute a(i) because it's just a system of linear equations. So a(i) = x\y but in this case y is not given…so how exactly am I supposed to do this?
