Identify a quadratic function that fits the points (−1, , −1), and (0, 3).

The quadratic equation is y =

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the quadratic equation be y = f(x) =

The graph of this quadratic equation should pass through all the given points.

The given points are (-1,8),(2,-1) and (0,3).

y  =

We have to substitute the 3 points in the general equation and solve to find the values of a,b and c.

Substitute (-1,8) ,

8 =

8=a - b + c             -------------------------(1)

Substitute (2,-1) ,

-1 =

-1 = 4a + 2b + c    --------------------------(2)

Substitute (0,3) ,

3 =

3 = c

c = 3                     --------------------------(3)

Substitute (3) in (1) and (2) ,

8 = a - b + c

8 = a - b + 3

a - b = 5

a = b + 5                --------------------------(4)

4a + 2b + c = -1

4a + 2b + 3 = -1

4a + 2b = -4

2a + b = -2             --------------------------(5)

Substitute (4) in (5) ,

2a + b = -2

2\times (b + 5) + b = -2

2b +10 +b = -2

b = -4

Substituting value of b in (4) ,

a = 1                        

Hence the quadratic equation is y =
