Find the values of​ a, b, and c such that the equation y=ax2+bx+c has ordered pair solutions ​(1​,8​), ​(−1​,−6​), and ​(0​,−3​). To do​ so, substitute each ordered pair solution into the equation. Each​ time, the result is an equation in three​ unknowns, a,​ b, and c. Then solve the resulting system of three linear equations in three​ unknowns, a,​ b, and c.

Question

Find the values of​ a, b, and c such that the equation

y=ax2+bx+c

has ordered pair solutions

​(1​,8​),
​(−1​,−6​),

and

​(0​,−3​).

To do​ so, substitute each ordered pair solution into the equation. Each​ time, the result is an equation in three​ unknowns, a,​ b, and c. Then solve the resulting system of three linear equations in three​ unknowns, a,​ b, and c.
