given:
=> it is a point (,)=(,)
=> it is a point (,)
=> it is a point (,)
form the system using given points to find the coefficients , and

.......eq.1



......simplify, both sides divide by
.......solve for
............eq.2




...........eq.3
since left sides in eq.2 and eq.3 are same, equal right sides
...........solve for




go to ...........eq.3, plug in and find



so, you have , and
a quadratic model is:
