Answer:
The table is a quadratic function
Explanation:
Given
The attached table
Required
Tell if it is a quadratic function
The difference in the x values are uniform (i.e. difference of 1), so the following method can be applied.
(1) Subtract adjacent y values.
(2) Subtract adjacent differences in (1) above
Notice the calculated differences in (2) are the same.
Hence, the table is a quadratic function
