Can anyone actually solve this?

In an experiment, a petri dish with a colony of bacteria is exposed to cold temperatures and then warmed again.

Time (hours) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Population (1000s) 5.1 3.03 1.72 1.17 1.38 2.35 4.08

a. Find a quadratic model for the data in the table. Type your answer below.
o

b. Use the model to estimate the population of bacteria at 9 hours.
