What is the equation, in standard form, of a parabola that models the values in the table? x~ -1 0 2 f(x)~ 12 5 15

So firstly, since (0,5) is one of our values we can plug it into the standard form equation to solve for the c variable (since 0 will cancel out the a and b variable):

Now we know that the value of c is 5. Next, plug in (-1,12) into the standard form equation and simplify (remember to also plug in 5 for the c variable):

Next, plug (2,15) into the standard form equation and simplify:

Now, with our last two simplified equations we will create a system of equations:

Now, I will be using the elimination method with this system. With the system, add up the equations together and you will get:

From here, we can solve for the a variable. With it, just divide both sides by 3:

Now that we know the value of a, plug it into either equation to solve for the b variable:

Putting all of our obtained values together, your final answer is:
