To find the least squares polynomial of degree 2 to
approximate points (X,Y) given in the table
X_____________Y
1_____________36
1.9_____________-49
2.9_____________23
4_____________-38
5.1_____________-14
the normal equations to be solved have the form
A c = v, where A is the matrix (NOT NECESSARILY DISPLAYED TO THE
PRECISION USED FOR THE CALCULATIONS)

and c is the coefficient vector for the polynomial;
and v is the transpose of the vector:

Ac=v
I believe I've got the first part; i.e. solving the matrix:
5.1________14.9_________55.03
14.9_______55.03________228.899
55.03______228.899______1017.2803
Now, I'm clueless as to how to proceed from here on.
