Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
This function is symmetric about the y-axis. -1 gets you to the same function value as 1.
No exponential equation is symmetric to the y-axis, and only a purely horizontal line would be symmetric to the y-axis. The model must be a quadratic.
Check: Square -1 to get 1 times 2.2 is 2.2
Square 0 to get 0 times 2.2 is 0
Square 1 to get 1 times 2.2 is 2.2
Square 2 to get 4 times 2.2 is 8.8
and so on.
