Answer:


Y=4x^2+3x-6

Explanation:

For the standard form equation to model the values in the table, each value of x in the table should give the matching the y value when substituted into the equation. We will test each equation:


Y=3x^2+4x-6 for (-2,4)


Y=3(-2)^2+4(-2)-6=3(4)+-8-6=12+-8-6=-2\\

This does not give 4 as the answer and is not a solution.


Y=4x^2+3x-6 for (-2,4)


Y=4(-2)^2+3(-2)-6=4(4)+-6-6=16+-6-6=-4\\

This does give 4 as the answer and is a possible solution.


Y=4x^2-3x-6 for (-2,4)


Y=4(-2)^2-3(-2)-6=4(4)+6-6=16+6-6=16\\

This does not give 4 as the answer and is not a solution.


Y=-4x^2-3x-6 for (-2,4)


Y=-4(-2)^2-3(-2)-6=-4(4)+6-6=-16+6-6=-16\\

This does not give 4 as the answer and is not a solution.

The only possible solution is
Y=4x^2+3x-6
