Why is it necessary to choose three points on a graph (when graphing a quadratic equation)?
**
Here is one way to look at it:
The general form of a quadratic equation is:
y=Ax^2+Bx+C
notice there are 3 unknowns to solve, A, B and C
thus, you will need 3 points for a system of 3 simultaneous equations
