You can put this solution on YOUR website! Determine whetee a quadratic model exists for each set of values. If so write the model.
(-4, 3), (-3, 3) (-2, 4)
-------
Use each point to generate an equation in a,b,c.
Form: ax^2 + bx + c = y
-----
(-4,3) gives::: 16a - 4b + c = 3
(-3,3) gives::: 9a - 3b + c = 3
(-2,4) gives::: 4a - 2b + c = 4
====================================
Solve the system for a , b, and c
Then write the equation.
