Thought so.

In fact f is just a function of x, and I plot y=f(x).
The parameters are there so that f's curve goes through the points I want.
So a,b,c,d and e should have the right values so that f's curve goes through
(1,0), (2,2) etc. as I said in my first post.
My problem is that I have the curve of f, and I'd like to find its equation;
I guessed that f is of the form (a*x+b)*exp(c*x+d)+e, and I'm trying to find
the right values for a,b,c,d and e.
I tried solving algebraically with maxima, but didn't get an answer, so I
turned to numerical solving.
