Answer:

A quadratic function.

y=2.5x^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plot the points given in the table, you obtain the graph shown in the figure attached.

As you can see, it is a parabola, therefore, the function that best models the data is a quadratic function.

By definition, the parent function of a quadratic function is:

y=x^{2}

You can compress or stretch it in the y-direction by multiplying the function by a constant C:

 y=Cx^{2}

If 0, then the function is compressed.

If C>1, then the function is stretched.

You can find the constant of the function asked as following:

- Substitute x=1 into the parent function to obtain the y-coordinate:

y=(1)^{2}=1

Then the point is (1,1)

- As you can see, with x=1 you obtain y=1 in the parent function, and in the function given in the table when x=1, y=2.5, therefore, the function is multiplied by 2.5. Therefore the constant is:

C=2.5

Then the function is:

y=2.5x^{2}

If you notice, the container is really just two circles, with a diameter of 4 each, and a square with sides of 10.5.

now, if we just get the area of each circle, keeping in mind their radius is half of the diameter, namely r = 2, and get the area of the 10.5x10.5 square, sum them up, that'd be the surface area of the container.

\bf \stackrel{\textit{2 circle's area}}{2(\pi r^2)}~~+~~\stackrel{\textit{area of the square}}{10.5\cdot 10.5}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{2 circle's area}}{2(\pi 2^2)}~~+~~\stackrel{\textit{area of the square}}{10.5\cdot 10.5}\implies 8\pi + 110.25
