What is the equation, in standard form, of a parabola that models the values in the table?



x

–2

0

4

f(x)

0

–6

78

Of the given points, (-2,0), (0,-6), (4,78)

only (0,-6) would satisfy the robots equation,

so as usual for more than straight-forward question,
the robot tutor is wrong

try y = 4x^2 + 5x - 6

The equation is: y = -3x^2 + 6x - 6
