Dear all,
I want to find functional relationship between two datas set.How to find,it relation is linear,exponential,logarthemics,polynomial functions in terms of equation format.(any ref.material regarding this would be useful)

Dataset
0.5° 121.20
5° 123.02
10° 125.04
15° 127.06
20° 129.07

Thanks in advance

Eyeballing it, it looks exceedinly linear
 
I agree, but the first and last data points are off.
 
Do you have any other values? That would be helpful.
 
Honestly, the first data point is off by something like .01 per five degrees...

the second data point isn't even off considering the significant digits involved (2.02/5 degrees = .202/.5 degrees, so the first one should be 121.202, but it's rounded)
 
Yeah, you're right. I graphed it as basically linear, besides those points. So the equation is n=121+2.02d if d is equal to the degrees at fives.
