Answer 1

Given:-

A set of data.

To find the required equation.

So from the given equation, the equation which suits is,

`y=2x^2-2`

So now we prove it by substituting the values from the table.

When x=-2 we get the value as,

`\begin{gathered} y=2x^2-2 \\ y=2(-2)^2-2 \\ y=2*4-2 \\ y=8-2 \\ y=6 \end{gathered}`

So the value of y is 6.

When x=-1. we get,

`\begin{gathered} y=2x^2-2 \\ y=2(-1)^2-2 \\ y=2*1-2 \\ y=2-2 \\ y=0 \end{gathered}`

So the value of y is 0.

When x=0. we get,

`\begin{gathered} y=2x^2-2 \\ y=2(0)-2 \\ y=-2 \end{gathered}`

So the value of y is -2.

When x=1. we get,

`\begin{gathered} y=2x^2-2 \\ y=2(1)-2 \\ y=2-2 \\ y=0 \end{gathered}`

So the value of y is 0.

When x=2. we get,

`\begin{gathered} y=2x^2-2 \\ y=2(2)^2-2 \\ y=2*4-2 \\ y=8-2 \\ y=6 \end{gathered}`

So the value of y is 6.

When x=3. we get,

`\begin{gathered} y=2x^2-2 \\ y=2(3)^2-2 \\ y=2*9-2 \\ y=18-2 \\ y=16 \end{gathered}`

So the value of y is 16.

When x=4. we get,

`\begin{gathered} y=2x^2-2 \\ y=2(4)^2-2 \\ y=2*16-2 \\ y=32-2 \\ y=30 \end{gathered}`

So the value of y is 30.

So from this we can conclude that the correct equation is,

`y=2x^2-2`
