What is the equation of the parabola that goes through the points
(2, �1), (1, 3), and (0, 13)?
-------------
The equation form is y = ax^2+bx+c
Substitute each x/y pair into the form to get three equations in a,b,c
----------
Solve the system of three equations to find a,b,and c.
-----------
Solution:
y = 3x^2-13x+1
