7. Just as two points define a linear function, three non- collinear points define a quadratic function. You can find three coefficients a, b, and c, of f(x) = ax 2 + bx + c by using a system of three equations, one for each point. The points do not need to have equally spaced x- values. Collinear points lie on the same line. Noncollinear points do not all lie on the same line. Reading Math http://www.virtualnerd.com/tutorials/?id=Alg2_05_01_0020
