Plot a scatter diagram. What is the quadratic function of best fit? $\begin{array}{l|l}\text { Year, } x & \text { Housing Starts, } H \\\hline 1 & 200 \\2 & 205 \\3 & 210 \\4 & 240 \\5 & 245 \\6 & 230 \\7 & 220 \\8 & 210\end{array}$

• A) \(\mathrm { H } ( \mathrm { x } ) = - 2.679 \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 } + 26.607 \mathrm { x } + 168.571\)
• B) \(\mathrm { H } ( \mathrm { x } ) = - 2.679 \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 } + 26.607 \mathrm { x } - 168.571\)
• C) \(\mathrm { H } ( \mathrm { x } ) = 2.679 \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 } + 26.607 \mathrm { x } + 168.571\)
• D) \(\mathrm { H } ( \mathrm { x } ) = - 2.679 \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 } - 26.607 \mathrm { x } + 168.571\)
