Graph the data in the table below. which kind of function best
models the data? write an equation to model the data. asap

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the table doesn't have an exponential behaviour. Because an exponential function has the point (0,1), because all powers with a null exponent are equal to 1.

Also, notice that the table doesn't show a linear relation, because y-variable has all values positive.

Therefore, the only relation that follows the values of the table is

Let's evalue each x-value

Therefore, the right answer is C. The given values show a quadratic relation.

A faster way to deduct the quadratic pattern is observing that y-values are symmetric no matter if x-values are positive or negative, that meanst he function is pair, or quadratic.
