Which equation represents the partial sum of the geometric series?

The table below shows the height of a ball  x  seconds after being kicked.  what values, rounded to the nearest whole number, complete the quadratic regression equation that models the data? f(x)  =  x2  +  x  +  0based on the regression equation and rounded to the nearest whole number, what is the estimated height after 0.25 seconds?   feet

The height of a flare fired from the deck of a ship in distress can be modeled by h(t)= -2(8t^2-52t-28), where h is the height of the flare above water and t is the time in seconds. a. find the time it takes the flare to hit the water.
