What type of equation will best fit the data below?

The given data represents a parabolic curve, that means it is a quadratic equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola is defined as a curve with all the points at an equal distance from the focus and the straight line. While calculating the whole parabola, make sure that the equation for the given parabola must be in the standard quadratic form f(x) = ax² + bx + c, where "a" is not equal to zero.
