Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 39P
The following data was taken from an experiment that measured the current in a wire for various imposed voltages:
| V, V | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 7 | 10 |
| i, A | 5.2 | 7.8 | 10.7 | 13 | 19.3 | 27.5 |
(a) On the basis of a linear regression of these data, determine current for a voltage of 3.5 V. Plot the line and the data and evaluate the fit.
(b) Redo the regression and force the intercept to be zero.

- 1.6. By manipulating Taylor series, determine the constant C for an error expansion of (1.3) of the form wj−u' (xj) ~ Ch¼u (5) (x;), where u (5) denotes the fifth derivative. Based on this value of C and on the formula for u(5) (x) with u(x) = esin(x), determine the leading term in the expansion for w; - u'(x;) for u(x) = esin(x). (You will have to find maxε[-T,T] |u(5) (x)| numerically.) Modify Program 1 so that it plots the dashed line corresponding to this leading term rather than just N-4. This adjusted dashed line should fit the data almost perfectly.
