Plot a scatter diagram. What is the quadratic function of best fit? $\begin{array}{l|l}\text { Year, } \mathrm{x} & \text { Housing Starts, H } \\\hline 1 & 200 \\2 & 210 \\3 & 230 \\4 & 240 \\5 & 250 \\6 & 230 \\7 & 215 \\8 & 208\end{array}$

• A) \(\mathrm { H } ( \mathrm { x } ) = - 3.268 \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 } - 30.494 \mathrm { x } + 168.982\)
• B) \(\mathrm { H } ( \mathrm { x } ) = - 3.268 \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 } + 30.494 \mathrm { x } - 168.982\)
• C) \(\mathrm { H } ( \mathrm { x } ) = 3.268 \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 } + 30.494 \mathrm { x } + 168.982\)
• D) \(\mathrm { H } ( \mathrm { x } ) = - 3.268 \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 } + 30.494 \mathrm { x } + 168.982\)
