Try to obtain data on automobile sales from any company in India over the past 20 years and examine which of the two models (Linear and Quadric) fits the data better?

Suppose you want to study the behavior of sales of automobiles over a number of years and someone suggests you to try the following models:

yt= B0 + B1 t
yt= à0 + à1 t + à2 t2

Where yt = sales at time t and t = time. The first model postulates that sales is a linear
function of time, whereas the second model states that it is a quadratic function of time.
(a) Discuss the properties of these two models.
(b) How would you decide which model is appropriate between these two models?
(c) In what situation the Quadric Model will be useful.
