Suppose you have the following data: (0, 1.0000), (0.25, 1.2840), (0.50, 1.6487), (0.75, 2.1170) and (1.00, 2.7183) . Find a polynomial P (x) of degree 2 that fits the data with the minimal approximation error. Calculate this error. Then sketch these discrete points and the graph of the polynomial P(x) in a figure using MATLAB.

You could use the polyfit and plot commands (and of course a few more fundamental calculations like subtraction) to do this.
