You're trying to find constants $a_0,a_1,a_2$ such that $\hat y=a_0+a_1\hat x+a_2{\hat x}^2$ . Equivalently, you're looking for the least-square solution to the following matrix equation.

$\underbrace{\begin{bmatrix}1&6&6^2\\1&3&3^2\\\vdots&\vdots&\vdots\\1&9&9^2\end{bmatrix}}_{\mathbf A}\underbrace{\begin{bmatrix}a_0\\a_1\\a_2\end{bmatrix}}_{\mathbf x}=\underbrace{\begin{bmatrix}100\\110\\\vdots\\70\end{bmatrix}}_{\mathbf b}$

To solve $\mathbf{Ax}=\mathbf b$ , multiply both sides by the transpose of $\mathbf A$ , which introduces an invertible square matrix on the LHS.

$\mathbf{Ax}=\mathbf b\implies\mathbf A^\top\mathbf{Ax}=\mathbf A^\top\mathbf b\implies\mathbf x=(\mathbf A^\top\mathbf A)^{-1}\mathbf A^\top\mathbf b$

Computing this, you'd find that

$\mathbf x=\begin{bmatrix}a_0\\a_1\\a_2\end{bmatrix}\approx\begin{bmatrix}121.119\\-3.786\\-0.175\end{bmatrix}$

which means the first choice is correct.

At a cookout the cook prepares 25 hot dogs and 16 hamburgers. If the ratio is 25 to 16, the rate can be expressed as 25 hot dogs
