You can put this solution on YOUR website!
so if (0,4) is an element of the solution set, then
^2\ +\ b(0)\ +\ c)
Which is to say 
Then if (2, 20) is an element of the solution set, then
^2\ +\ b(2)\ +\ 4)
Which is to say 
Then if (10,4) is an element of the solution set, then:
^2\ +\ b(10)\ +\ 4)
Which is to say 
Solve the 2X2 system of linear equations to find the coefficients  and  . Then, when you have your fully-qualified polynomial, you can evaluate ) to find
