Question

I'm encountering difficulties while attempting to solve this problem, and I'm seeking your assistance. The problem must be solved using only matrix form, without employing any other approaches. Could you please provide a comprehensive, step-by-step explanation using matrix form, guiding me towards the final solution?

I have included both the question and the answer. Now, what I need is a detailed step-by-step explanation that will guide me towards arriving at that answer.

 
2.10. Find a quadratic function f(x) (polynomial of degree two) whose graph
passes through the points
(1,4), (-1,6) and (2,9).
Hint: Find the system of linear equations that the coefficients of the polynomial
must satisfy and use Gaussian elimination.
