Solutions
Expert Solution
From the above three models, the linear and exponential have similar R-Sq values whereas the Quadratic model has the highest R-Sq with one and two more parameters from the linear and Quadratic models respectively. Here, the increase in R-Sq value in quadratic is enough from other models to say that the quadratic model is offer the most believable forecasts.

The credit or financial crisis 2007-2008 started in the U.S.
Many people in the U.S. have got mortgages and later they couldn't
