Chapter 17, Problem 30P

Derive the least-squares fit of the following model:

y = a 1 x + a 2 x 2 + e

That is, determine the coefficients that results in the least-squares fit for a second-order polynomial with a zero intercept. Test the approach by using it to fit the data from Prob. 17.28.

3. Using the trial function u¹(x) = a sin(x) and weighting function w¹(x) = b sin(x) find an approximate solution to the following boundary value problems by determining the value of coefficient a. For each one, also find the exact solution using Matlab and plot the exact and approximate solutions. (One point each for: (i) finding a, (ii) finding the exact solution, and (iii) plotting the solution) a. (U₁xx -2 = 0 u(0) = 0 u(1) = 0 b. Modify the trial function and find an approximation for the following boundary value problem. (Hint: you will need to add an extra term to the function to make it satisfy the boundary conditions.) (U₁xx-2 = 0 u(0) = 1 u(1) = 0
