Graph the set of points. Which model is most approiate for the set (-2, 10), (-1, 1), (1, 1), (2, 10)

The points follow quadratic equation model.

Explanation:

To find the model, we can find the slope of the points.

Slope of two points =

The given points are: (-2, 10), (-1, 1), (1, 1), (2, 10)

We can rule out a linear model because no straight line pass through (or near) all points and also the slope of the points are not same.

We can also rule out an exponential model because the function is decreasing and then increasing; exponential models either grow (increase) or decay.

The graph drawn follows the function

Therefore, it is a quadratic equation.

this is the formula: v = the value of investment at the end of the time period

p = the principal amount (the initial amount invested)

r = the annual interest rate

n = the annual frequency of compounding (how many times a year interest is added)

t = the number of years the money is invested

^ means raise to the power of
