Provide an appropriate response.Verify that the following data points give constant second differences. Does this guarantee that the points fit exactly on a quadratic function? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
No; Since the x-values are not equally spaced, constant second differences do not guarantee a quadratic function.
