Try a quadratic equation y = ax²+ bx + c Substitute x = 2 and y = 11 y = ax²+ bx + c 11 = a(2)²+ b(2) + c 49 = a(3)²+ b(3) + c 123 = a(4)²+ b(4) + c Simplify: 11 = 4a + 2b + c 49 = 9a + 3b + c 123 = 16a + 4b + c Solve that system of equations and get a = 18, b = -52, c = 43 So an equation that fits the given data is: y = ax²+ bx + c y = 18x²- 52x + 43 Edwin
