Write a quadratic equation in standard form whose graph passes through the given points (1,2) (2,-1) (3,-6)

A quadratic equation in standard form is equal to

y=Ax^2+Bx+C

substitute the given values

(1,2)

2=A(1^2)+B(1)+C

2=A+B+C ------> equation 1

(2,-1)

-1=A(2^2)+B(2)+C

-1=4A+2B+C -------> equation 2

(3,-6)

-6=A(3^2)+B(3)+C

-6=9A+3B+C -------> equation 3

step 1

In the equation 1 isolate the variable A

A=2-B-C -------> equation 4

step 2

substitute equation 4 in equation 2 and 3

-1=4(2-B-C)+2B+C

-1=8-4B-4C+2B+C

-1=8-2B-3C

2B+3C=
