SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on determining the function f(x) that passes through the points (1, 1.22), (2, 2.25), and (3, 3.24). A specific quadratic function is provided: f(x) = -0.02x² + 1.09x + 0.15, which accurately represents the relationship between the given x-values and their corresponding f(x) values. The conversation highlights the existence of multiple valid functions that can fit these points, emphasizing the flexibility in mathematical modeling.

Can anybody tell me the relation between this numbers? I mean, say there's f(x) = 1.22 at x=1, f(x)= 2.25 at x=2 and so on..I need to know f(x).

It's hard to say without knowing more terms. If you need any function that passes through those three points you could use the quadratic f(x) = -0.02x2 + 1.09x + 0.15.

There are innumerably many correct answers as to what f(x) might be.

Which one do you want?

Edit:
Make your own correct answer! :smile:
