If the graph of the function f(x) is passing through the
given points, then the coordinates of these points have to verify the expression of the
function.
The point A(1 , 2) is on the graph if and only
if:
f(1) = 2
We'll substitute
x by 1:
f(1) = a + 1 + c
a +
1 + c = 2
The point B(0 , 3) is on the graph if and only
if:
f(0) = 3
We'll substitute
x by 0:
f(0) =
c
c =
3
We'll substitute c = 3
in:
a + 1 + c = 2
a + 1 + 3 =
2
We'll subtract 4 both
sides:
a = 2 -
4
a =
-2
The expression of f(x) is:
f(x) = -2x^2 + x + 3
