Does anyone know the in-game formula for calculating the total experience required at each skill level?

I've scanned the internet up and down and have even tried some curve fitting, but I haven't been able to get anything useable...

What I'm looking for:
f(lvl) = xp required
1 - 100
2 - 380
3 - 770
4 - 1300
5 - 2150
6 - 3300
7 - 4800
8 - 6900
9 - 10000
10 - 15000

10-term polynomial
aka: arbitrary

I will also accept the following as answers:

random from dartboard toss
total g earned per year from Salmonberry season
digitized Brownian motion
C-14 decay times in years for 10 actual atoms
number of minutes between original thoughts in my head
Cosmic ray energy values in 10MeV increments

I suspect it arises from something like how many parsnips seem reasonable to plant and harvest to raise your farming skill to the next level. And then the rest of the skill levels fell in line with farming. Maybe my teenagers can figure out an equation with those fancy calculators of theirs.

In the actual code, it's an array, not a formula. I don't believe there is a f(x) for the progression.

All data can be fit to a curve! The entirety of the known Universe* is merely a slightly more complex than normal wave function being actively manipulated by miniature office cubicles full of hamsters and maybe gerbils! Could be nutria though, the office is located rather far away and I only have a cheap telescope to spy on them. But no matter! We shall not slump into despair at the feet of merely mostly intractable polynomials, instead we shall push on to find a talented mathematologist to untie this knot of some annoyance.

My kid is taking some sort of standardized test for math, maybe I'll ask him. What's the reward for solving a 10-term polynomial? Ice cream? Ice cream is always good stuff, maybe I'll give him a second scoop if he keeps the R^2 above .97



*they also work on those unknown universe bits. But only when the boss gets the OK for overtime pay.

So, I thought I posted here... guess I didn't—anyhow, ended up calculating a useless 10th-degree polynomial: -(5/18144)x^9 + (61/2016)x^8 - (3125/3024)x^7 + (279/16)x^6 - (145145/864)x^5 + (31083/32)x^4 - (1905110/576)x^3 + (3382439/504)x^2 - (840545/126)x + 2600

Thanks for the comments tho!
