Question

find the quadratic equation that fits the following data points
{(5,246),(-1,0)(4,160)}

Answer 1

i dont understand the notation

Answer 2

is that just 3 points?

Answer 3

i got something I made just for this lol

Answer 4

{(5,246),(-1,0),(4,160)}

Answer 5

we plug the points in and it spits a quad at us

Answer 6

ok but what do i plug in

Answer 7

9x^2 + 5x -4

Answer 8

the data points

Answer 9

where did u get 9x^2+5x-4

Answer 10

well, I programed it to perform all that tedious calculations that I would do by hand from the data points and then tell me what I would have come to as a result

Answer 11

i see u did the work for me

Answer 12

its alot of solving for a system of equations in 3 variables

Answer 13

thats what i was trying to do it sucks i always get stuck on whether to multiply (4) and (5)

Answer 14

so to write it in standard y=a^2+bx+c
would be
y=9x^2+5x-4

Answer 15

the equations are:

5^2a +5b +c =246
-1^2a -1b +c = 0
4^2a +4b +c =160

Answer 16

yes

Answer 17

great

Answer 18

as usuall your a genious
