Applied Numerical Methods with MATLAB

I need help with linearizing the data and writing the matlab code. Thank you!

5-3 On average, the surface area A of human beings is related to weight W and height H. Measurements on a num ber of individuals of height 180 cm and different weights (kg) give values of A (m2 in the following table: W(kg) 70 75 77 80 82 84 87 9 A (m2) 2.10 2.12 2.15 2.20 2.22 2.23 2.26 2.30 Show that a power law A = aw" fits these data reasonably well. Evaluate the constants a and b, and predict what the surface area is for a 95-kg person. You are to linearize the data. You must determine the linearized system of equations for the coefficients by hand, but then use MATLAB to calculate the coefficients. Answer: A-04149 W03799 A(95)=2.34 m2 plot both the linearized data fit and the power law fit. Turn in your linearized equations on paper, but upload a script file that determines the regression
