Explanation Given Information: The values of f ( x ) for different values x : f ( − 1 ) = 5 , f ( 1 ) = 3 , f ( 2 ) = 5 Calculation: To obtain the quadratic function at first we will find the coefficients a, b, c . Since, f ( x ) = a x 2 + b x + c . So, f ( − 1 ) = 5 gives, f ( − 1 ) = a ( − 1 ) 2 + b ( − 1 ) + c 5 = a − b + c a − b + c = 5 (I) f ( 1 ) = 3 gives, f ( 1 ) = a ( 1 ) 2 + b ( 1 ) + c 3 = a + b + c a + b + c = 3 (II) f ( 2 ) = 5 gives, f ( 2 ) = a ( 2 ) 2 + b ( 2 ) + c 5 = 4 a + 2 b + c 4 a + 2 b + c = 5 (III) Equations (I), (II) and (III) give, a − b + c = 5 a + b + c = 3 4 a + 2 b + c = 5 Use the Gauss elimination method to obtain the solution of the above system of equation. The matrix corresponding to the system of equation is as follows: [ 1 − 1 1 5 1 1 1 3 4 2 1 5 ] The matrix will be converted into the echelon form by using the elementary row transformation
