What is the general form of a quadratic equation?

The general form of the quadratic equation is given by;

[tex]\rm ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]

Where; a, b, and c are the constants.

x;   0       1         2        3          4         5

y;  2.82  3. 29  3. 46  3. 33   2. 88  2. 24

From the table when the value of x = 0 the value of y is 2.82.

Then,

[tex]\rm y=ax^2+bx+c\\\\x=0\\\\2.82=a0^2+b(0)+c\\\\c=2.82[/tex]

From the table when the value of x = 3 the value of y is 3.33.

[tex]\rm y=ax^2+bx+c\\\\x=3\\\\2.82=a(3)^2+b(3)+c\\\\9a+3b+2.82=2.82\\\\9a=-3b\\\\b=-3a\\\\[/tex]

From the table when the value of x = 5 the value of y is 2.24.

[tex]\rm y=ax^2+bx+c\\\\x=3\\\\2.24=a(5)^2+(-3a)(5)+c\\\\25a-15a+2.82=2.24\\\\40a=2.24-2.82\\\\10a=-0.68\\\\a= \dfrac{-0.68}{10}\\\\a=-0.143[/tex]

And the value of b is;

[tex]\rm b=3a\\\\b=3(-0.14)\\\\b=0.59[/tex]

Therefore,

The quadratic regression equation for this data set is;

[tex]\rm y=ax^2+bx+c\\\\y=-0.143x^2+0.59x+2.82\\\\[/tex]

Hence, the quadratic regression equation for this data set is [tex]\rm y=-0.143x^2+0.59x+2.82\\[/tex].
