Answer:

y = -0.07x2 + 3.07x

Explanation:

For each plant we add, there is a decrease of 70 grams for all plants from the inicial value of 3 kg of beans.

So, for 2 plants, we have (3 - 0.07) * 2

For 3 plants, we have (3 - 2*0.07) * 3

For x plants, we have (3 - (x-1)*0.07) * x

So we can model the final result of the amount of beans 'y' with the equation:

y = (3 - (x-1)*0.07) * x

y = (3 - 0.07x + 0.07) * x

y = (3.07 - 0.07x) * x

y = -0.07x2 + 3.07x

(In this equation we have a = -0.07, b = 3.07 and c = 0)
