Given:
The three points are (-7,134), (-3,10) and (5,50).
To find:
The equation of parabola using quadratic regression.
Solution:
The general equation of quadratic regression is
...(i)
The three points are (-7,134), (-3,10) and (5,50).
Using the graphing calculator, we get a=3, b=-1 and c=-20. Putting these values in (i), we get
Therefore, the equation of parabola is and the missing values in the given equation are 3, -1 and -20.

And because it is really just zeros it is a fairly simple problem :)
Let’s define our variables:
D = dad’s age now
S = son’s age now
Given:
D=4S now
D+4=3(S+4) in 4 years
We can expand the second equation:
D+4=3S+12
D=3S+8
And we can subtract it from D=4S
D=4S-(D=3S+8)
0=S-8
S=8 the son’s age now.
D=4S=4(8)=32 the father’s age now
Check:
32+4=3(8+4)
36=3(12)
36=36 Check
I hope this helps you
