Polynomial Y=A4*x^4+A3*x^3+A2*x^2+A1*x^+A0 4th order

Polynomial Y=A5*x^5+A4*x^4+A3*x^3+A2*x^2+A1*x^+A0 5th order

Example: Polynomial 4th Order

=INDEX(LINEST(b,a^{1,2,3,4}),5) =INDEX(LINEST(b,a^{1,2,3,4}),4)

Coefficient A0

1,2,3,4 for Poly 4th order

a is the name of the range of data x-value (here cell C6 to C14)

(highlight cells, click on insert, click on name,
click on define, type the name for this range of cells)
b is the name of the range of data y-value (here cell D6 to D14)

Example: Polynomial 5th Order

=INDEX(LINEST(b,a^{1,2,3,4,5}),6) =INDEX(LINEST(b,a^{1,2,3,4,5}),5)
 Coefficient A0

1,2,3,4,5 for Poly 5th order

a is the name of the range of data x-value (here cell C6 to C14)

b is the name of the range of data y-value (here cell D6 to D14)
