Find the parabola of the form y = ax² + b which best fits the points (-1,0), (2, 2), (4,4) by minimizing the sum, S, of squares of the vertical distances from the above points to the parabola given by y = S = (a + b)² + (4a + b − 2)² + (16a+b− 4)². NOTE. You need to minimize S as a function of the variables a, b and then write the expression for y: y = ax² + b with a and b that you have found.
