Answer:
OPTION B IS YOUR ANSWER.
You know its a quadratic when the second difference of each y value is same.
Here's what I mean.
Option B
First all x values differ by 1. So we're good on those.
Now for the y values
Which are
3, -1, -3, -3, -1
find the difference between the second and first fod each... Then do this a second time.
If it gives the same value for all the second differences... Then its quadratic.
-1-3 = -4
-3-(-1) = -3 + 1 = -2
-3-(-3) = -3 + 3 = 0
-1-(-3) = -1 + 3 = 2.
The values are -4, -2, 0, 2.
Now find the difference of these(2nd - 1st)
-2-(-4) = -2 + 4 = 2
0-(-2)= 0 + 2 = 2
2 - 0 = 2
Since all second differences gave 2 as their answer....
Option B is your Quadratic Function!!!
Hope this helps!
