Test the following data table to see whether the data are quadratic. -3 |32| -2 -1 0 1 -1 -4 -5 -4 -1 Calculate the first-order and second-order differences. W X y First-order difference Second-order difference -1 -2 -4 -1 -5 0 -4 1 -1 This data is because the Second-order difference is equal to and the same all the time.
