Multiple Choice

Find a quadratic function that best fits the data. Give answers to the nearest hundredth.
- $\begin{array}{c|c|c|c}\mathrm{x} & -10.2 & 1.4 & 7 \\\hline \mathrm{y} & 100 & 5 & 56\end{array}$

• A) \(\mathrm { y } = 0.09 + 8.33 \mathrm { x } - 6.85\)
• B) \(y = 0.53 x ^ { 2 } + 4.68 x - 2.5\)
• C) \(y = 1.01 x ^ { 2 } - 0.66 x + 2.11\)
• D) \(y = 1.01 x ^ { 2 } + 0.66 x + 2.11\)
