Question
The parabola is the graph of a quadratic polynomial p(x) = ax² + bx + c. A
point (2o, 3o) is a point on such parabola if p(xo) = yo; i.e. ax + bro+c=yo.
Find a quadratic polynomial such that the following three points are on the parabola
defined by it:
(-1,3), (0,4), and (1,2).
Note that to find p(x) = ax+by+c we need to find numbers a, b and c using three
linear equations obtained from given information above
