Determining Constants by Iterating for Best-Fit Function

I have a best-fit function of a data set in the form of a n=2 polynomial. However, I also have a function of a nonlinear, exponential form with constants that must be as closely matched to this polynomial as possible by varying the values of the two unknown constants (F and tau) by iteration.
The best-fit polynomial is of the form:
D = -27.0950 + 14.6949*T - 0.1491*T^2;
The exponential function is of the form:
D= F*(tau^2)*(T/tau + exp(-T/tau) -1);
I wish to iterate through the values of T in [0,20] with increments of 0.1, and find the values of F and tau such that collectively over all the included values of T, the exponential function is minimized for the sum of squares for each data point. Does this require a function from the optimization toolbox, or a different approach entirely?
