Chapter 4, Problem 42RE

For the following exercises, consider this scenario: The population of a city increased steadily over a ten-year span.The following ordered pairs show the population and the year over the ten-year span (population, year) for specific recorded years:

$\left(3,600,2000\right);\left(4,000,2001\right);\left(4,700,2003\right);\left(6,000,2006\right)$

42. Use linear regression to determine a function y,where the year depends on the population, to threedecimal places of accuracy.
