Hi, I am running a regression model where I have a linear term and quadratic term of time as predictors. can I combine the 2 B coefficients in one? if yes, should I take the square root first for the quadratic term?

thanks in advance

@Sami100,
No, you can't combine them. If you just want one coefficient, just make a linear model.
