Find the missing values in the following table
𝑥 0 1 2 3 4 5
𝑦 0 0 - 24 60 -

To find the missing values in the table, we need to identify a pattern or relationship between the values of \(x\) and \(y\). One common approach is to determine if the data follows a simple linear or quadratic relationship, or any other polynomial relationship.

Let's write down the table as given:

\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|}
\hline
x & y \\
\hline
0 & 0 \\
1 & 0 \\
2 & - \ (\text{missing}) \\
3 & 24 \\
4 & 60 \\
5 & - \ (\text{missing}) \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]

We have known values for \(y\) at \(x = 0, 1, 3, 4\), so we can use these points to try to determine a pattern.

### Hypothesis 1: Quadratic Relationship

A possible approach is to assume that \(y\) follows a quadratic function:

\[
y = ax^2 + bx + c
\]

Using the given values, we can substitute into the equation to form a system of equations to solve for \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\).

- For \(x = 0\), \(y(0) = 0\):
  \[
  0 = a(0)^2 + b(0) + c \quad \Rightarrow \quad c = 0
  \]

- For \(x = 1\), \(y(1) = 0\):
  \[
  0 = a(1)^2 + b(1) + 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad a + b = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad b = -a
  \]

- For \(x = 3\), \(y(3) = 24\):
  \[
  24 = a(3)^2 + b(3) + 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 24 = 9a + 3b
  \]
  Substituting \(b = -a\) into this equation:
  \[
  24 = 9a + 3(-a) \quad \Rightarrow \quad 24 = 6a \quad \Rightarrow \quad a = 4
  \]

- For \(x = 4\), \(y(4) = 60\):
  \[
  60 = a(4)^2 + b(4) + 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 60 = 16a + 4b
  \]
  Substituting \(a = 4\) and \(b = -4\):
  \[
  60 = 16(4) + 4(-4) \quad \Rightarrow \quad 60 = 64 - 16 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 60 = 48 + 12 = 60
  \]

Thus, the quadratic equation is:

\[
y = 4x^2 - 4x
\]

### Finding the missing values:
- For \(x = 2\):
  \[
  y(2) = 4(2)^2 - 4(2) = 16 - 8 = 8
  \]

- For \(x = 5\):
  \[
  y(5) = 4(5)^2 - 4(5) = 100 - 20 = 80
  \]

### Completed table:
\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|}
\hline
x & y \\
\hline
0 & 0 \\
1 & 0 \\
2 & 8 \\
3 & 24 \\
4 & 60 \\
5 & 80 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]

2. What other types of functions could fit a set of data points?
3. How can you check if a relationship between \(x\) and \(y\) is linear?
4. What are higher-order polynomials, and when are they used?
5. How can you approximate missing values if the data does not follow a polynomial pattern?

**Tip:** When dealing with data tables, always check if the differences between consecutive values (first and second differences) suggest a linear or quadratic relationship.
