3) From elementary geometry we know that there is a unique straight line through any two points in a plane. Less well known is the fact that there is a unique parabola through any three non- collinear points in a plane. For each set points below, find a parabola with an equation of the form y = a that passes through the given points. x²+bx+c a) (0, 1), (-1, 4), and (2, 1)
