Question

Please help me with this please and thank you

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y = ax^n + bx^(n-1) ... + z

(0, 1) tells us that the constant term z = 1.

because x = 0 eliminates all other terms. and as the sum is 1, that means z = 1.

for the other pairs I strongly suspect

(-1, 3) : 2×(-1)² + 1 = 2×1 + 1 = 3

(-2, 9) : 2×(-2)² + 1 = 2×4 + 1 = 9

so, the fitting equation is

y = 2x² + 1
